Notes: Mill the grains, mix in the rice hulls and mash hops, and mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 60 minutes, adding Brewers Crystals and Whirlfloc according to the schedule. After the boil, stir or recirculate for about 5 minutes to create a vortex and add the knockout/whirlpool hops (at about 205°F/96°C). Continue to spin, cooling if possible to 180°F (82°C), and add the remaining whirlpool hops. Chill to about 69°F (21°C), oxygenate the wort, and pitch a healthy yeast starter.

Ferment at 72°F (22°C) for a few days, or until the gravity has dropped to about 1.024, then raise the temperature to 75°F (24°C) for a few more days or until fermentation is complete and the gravity has stabilized. Soft crash over 2 days to 56°F (13°C), drop the trub (or rack to secondary), then continue crashing to 34°F (1°C) and drop trub again. Add dry hops. For 3 days, rouse the hops or burp with CO2 once per day to get the hops back into suspension. On the third day, drop trub again. Package and carbonate to about 2.45 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES

Mash Hopping: Adding hops to the mash helps beer stability via the alpha and beta acids’ ability to break down metallic compounds that could promote the oxidation of beer (iron, copper, and manganese).

Brewers Crystals: These are a commercially available blend of glucose solids and corn syrup; they are a way to add strength while maintaining body and mouthfeel—similar to malt extract, but without malt flavor.

Bitterness: Don’t worry about it. The IBUs are here to help you dial in quantities, but given the beer’s body and emphasis on whirlpool hops, this beer will not taste like 90-plus IBUs.
Whirlpool: We do our whirlpool hops in two stages just to help the flow of our brew day. However, optionally, you can add all the whirlpool hops at 180°F (82°C), and this will also help to keep the bitterness down.

Cold Dry-Hopping: Because we dry hop at 34°F (1°C), it’s important to rouse the hops once or twice a day, getting them up into the beer where they can extract. The colder temperatures increase the speed at which they will drop to the bottom of your vessel.

Notes: Add grain to 14 gallons water at 164°F for a target mash of 154°F. Hold mash temp for 90 minutes. Recirculate mash until wort is free from large amounts of grain. Drain off wort into boil kettle for approximately 11 gallons (sparge as needed for a boil gravity of 1.075). Boil for 240 minutes, adding hops at 60 minutes (IMPORTANT: please be aware of your boil-off rate, as you should finish your boil with 5.5 gallons and aim to get 5 gallons into your fermenter). Pitch yeast at 90-95°F (a 1L starter is highly recommended).

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%
