    I have read that the '14 batch of Framboos is pretty much flat at this point, but could (should?) carb up as it develops in the bottle. Can anyone offer a reasonable time frame for how long that should take based on experience? I must admit this is new to me and don't want to open a beer that I won't be able to fully appreciate until its peaked. Also not the most patient guy so....

    Cheers!

    Depending on the bugs, the residual sugars, the pH of the beer... it might never carb up further.

    i love still lambics... im sitting on a 14 framboos purely because reviews are saying it is young and unfinished.

    Keep it in a cool dark place for 3 years… it may not be carbonated to your liking but either way you will be very pleased

    Thanks guys, consesus seems to be sit on them and be patient - using a repurposed wine fridge to do this. Have a couple so might try them in 2-3 years and see how they do.
