Notes: I found this recipe on Brewer's Friend and the notes are from that recipe. I could not get Magnesium Chloride at Midwest Supplies, so I am opting not to use any water modifications rather than just leaving one out. The malt I got was a smoked wheat malt from Weyermann and according to the label at Midwest, is designed for this beer. I am also using Safale K97 German Ale yeast and 1.5 pounds of rice hulls. I could have got by with less as it was like sparging through pea gravel. I used 1 ounce of homegrown hops at around 4.5 AA rather than 1.5 ounce at 3.75 AA. IBUs went from 22.17 to 19.27. Saaz were 3.2 AA vs 3.5 and that dropped the IBUs from 19.27 to 19.1.

Overall Impression:
A low-gravity, highly-carbonated, light-bodied ale combining an oak-smoked flavor with a clean hop bitterness. Highly sessionable.

Aroma:
Low to moderate oak wood smoke is the most prominent aroma component, but can be subtle and hard to detect. A low spicy, herbal, or floral hop aroma is typically present, and should be lower than or equal to the smoke in intensity. Hints of grainy wheat are also detected in the best examples. The aroma is otherwise clean, although light pome fruit esters (especially ripe red apple or pear) are welcome. No acidity. Slight water-derived sulfury notes may be present.

Appearance:
Pale yellow to medium gold in color with excellent clarity. A tall, billowy, white, tightly-knit head with excellent retention is distinctive. Murkiness is a fault.

Flavor:
Moderately-low to medium oak smoke flavor up front which carries into the finish; the smoke can be stronger in flavor than in aroma. The smoke character is gentle, should not be acrid, and can lend an impression of sweetness. A moderate to strong bitterness is readily evident which lingers through the finish. The overall balance is toward bitterness. Low but perceptible spicy, herbal, or floral hop flavor. Low grainy wheat character in the background. Light pome fruit esters (red apple or pear) may be present. Dry, crisp finish. No sourness.

Mouthfeel:
Light in body, with a crisp and dry finish. Carbonation is quite high and can add a slight carbonic bite or prickly sensation. No noticeable alcohol warmth.

Comments:
Pronounced in English as “pivo grow-JEES-kee-uh” (meaning: Grodzisk beer). Known as Grätzer (pronounced “GRATE-sir”) in German-speaking countries, and in some beer literature. Traditionally made using a multi-step mash, a long boil (~2 hours), and multiple strains of ale yeast. The beer is never filtered but Isinglass is used to clarify before bottle conditioning. Traditionally served in tall conical glassware to accommodate the vigorous foam stand.

History:
Developed as a unique style centuries ago in the Polish city of Grodzisk (known as Grätz when ruled by Prussia and Germany). Its fame and popularity rapidly extended to other parts of the world in the late 19th and early 20th century. Regular commercial production declined after WWII and ceased altogether in the early-mid 1990s. This style description describes the traditional version during its period of greatest popularity.

Characteristic Ingredients:
Grain bill usually consists entirely of oak-smoked wheat malt. Oak-smoked wheat malt has a different (and less intense) smoke character than German beechwood-smoked barley malt; it has a drier, crisper, leaner quality – a bacon/ham smoke flavor is inappropriate. Saazer-type hops (Polish, Czech or German), moderate hardness sulfate water, and a relatively clean and attenuative continental ale yeast fermented at moderate ale temperatures are traditional. German hefeweizen yeast or other strains with a phenol or strong ester character are inappropriate.

Style Comparison:
Similar in strength to a Berliner Weisse, but never sour. Has a smoked character but that character is less intense than in a Rauchbier.

OG: 1.028 – 1.032
FG: 1.006 – 1.012
IBUs: 20 – 35
SRM: 3 – 6
ABV: 2.5 – 3.3%

Notes: Recipe is built off of a 3:1 ratio of Maris Otter to flaked barley, shooting for a gravity of about 1.036. Specialty grains make up the remainder of the grain bill with a target gravity of 1.044. I wanted to keep this close to a traditional dry stout so I stuck with the recommended 1lb of Roasted Barley per 5gl batch.

Acidulated malts are used to adjust the wort pH to 5.2 (optimum for most barley beers). If you don't have access to pH testing equipment or strips, it's probably safer to omit it entirely.

BIAB efficiencies can vary wildly until you nail down your process, so consider double crushing your grains and running a 90 minute mash infusion. I've intentionally designed this recipe with a lower efficiency in mind, but a well established BIAB brewer can hit efficiencies as high as 85%! Adjust accordingly for your own equipment.

You want to maximize attenuation, so make sure that your mash temp is no higher than 152°F (67°C) to avoid extracting un-fermentable dextrin's. This means that you want to try and avoid applying direct heat, adding hot water or anything else that would cause the mash temperature to spike over 152°F.

Brew in a bag procedure:

1. Heat 11.7L (3.1gal) of strike water to 167°F (75°C)
2. Add grains to brew kettle in nylon bag
3. Stabilize the grain bed at 67°C (152°F) and hold for 60 minutes.
4. Remove the nylon bag and transfer to another vessel.
5. Sparge with 17.8L (4.7gal) boiling water to bring mash bed back up to 67°C (152°F). Add runnings back into the wort.
5. Hang or squeeze out the bag to extract any remaining sugars. Add runnings back into the wort. If necessary, top up with clean water to reach the boil volume of 22.7L (6gal).
7. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding the hops and spices as indicated in the ingredients list.
8. Cool to 21°C (70°F)
9. Oxygenate and pitch the yeast.
10. Ferment for 4-6 days in primary fermenter at 65°F (19°C) or until FG is reached. Because there are not a lot of sugars in this beer it tends to be fairly fast fermenting. Often the primary ferment will be complete in 72 hours if you ferment at room temperature.
11. (Optional) Transfer to a secondary and let fermentation complete and settle for 7 days.
12. (Optional) For best results, "cellar" or age at 10°C (50°F) to help drop yeast out of suspension.
13. Bottle or keg, condition for ~2 weeks before drinking.
