FIGURE 7

Consumption and production of (A) acetic acid and lactic acid and (B) citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, and gluconic acid during the 24-month lambic beer production processes carried out in two identical oak casks. Since no differences were found regarding substrates and metabolites for the different sampling heights (top, middle, and bottom of the fermenting wort and maturing beer in the casks), average concentrations are reported. In the case of acetic acid and gluconic acid, the averages were taken of the concentrations measured in the fermenting wort and maturing beer at the top, middle, and bottom of the same casks during the same lambic beer production processes reported before (De Roos et al., 2018). Standard deviations represent technical replicates. Cask 1 (Inline graphic) and cask 2 (Inline graphic).
