Notes: Overall Impression: A sour, smoked, lower-gravity historical German wheat beer. Complex yet refreshing character due to high attenuation and carbonation, along with low bitterness and moderate sourness.

Aroma: Moderately strong fresh smoky aroma, light hints of sourness, medium-low fruity esters, possibly apples or lemons, moderate bready-grainy malt. The smoke character is stronger than the bready notes, and the smoke has a ‘dry’ character, like the remnants of an old fire, not a ‘greasy’ smoke.

Appearance:
Tall off-white head, rocky and persistent. Deep yellow to light gold color. Fair clarity, may be somewhat hazy.

Flavor:
Moderately strong fruity flavor, possibly lemons or apples. Moderate intensity, clean lactic tartness (no funk). Similar smoky character as aroma (dry wood fire), medium strength. Dry finish, with acidity and smoke in the aftertaste. Low bitterness; the acidity is providing the balance, not hops. Fresh, clean palate and slightly puckery aftertaste. The wheat character is on the low side; the smoke and acidity are more prominent in the balance. The lemony-tart/green apple flavor is strongest in the finish, with smoke a close second. Complex.

Mouthfeel:
Tingly acidity. High carbonation. Medium to medium-light body.

Comments:
Served young. Smoke and sour is an unusual combination that is not for everyone.

History:
Originating in Lichtenhain, in Thüringen (central Germany). Height of popularity was towards the end of the 1800s, and was widely available throughout Thüringen. Like a pre-1840 Berliner Weisse.

Characteristic Ingredients:
Smoked barley malt, wheat malt, lactobacillus, top-fermenting yeast. Grists vary, but the wheat would typically be 30-50%.

Style Comparison:
In the same general historical lower-alcohol top-fermenting central European wheat beer family as Gose, Grodziskie, and Berliner weisse, has elements of all of them but having its own unique balance – sour and smoke is not found in any of the other beers. Not as acidic as Berliner weisse, probably more like a smoked Gose without coriander and salt, or a Grodziskie with Gose-like acidity.

FG: 1.004 – 1.008

Notes: Experimental brew using 2 Ghost Peppers and dry hopping with Russian Hops.
Made this at a "Teach a Friend to Brew Day"
with the Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers Club hosted by Santa Fe Brewing.

The pepper went in with :15 to go on the boil and produced a nice bit of heat without any veggie flavor. The hops where smooth and subtle.

So far haven't found anyone who didn't like it and I would brew it again except I don't brew repeats. (Too many ideas, too little brew capacity!)

Notes: Apple Cider reduction is a reduction of 1 gallon apple juice down to either a pint or a quart (or somewhere in that ballpark). Should add about 8 points

Spices are just placeholders for right now.

I will likely add the spices and the molasses in with the apple cider reduction at the end of primary.

This will be a split batch with a hoppy amber at the end.

Notes: Don't be skeered.

Beta gluc rest at 105F for 20-30 min. Sacch rest at 150F for 60 min. Add the 0 min hops, swirl and cover for 30 minutes. Drop the temp quickly, pitch at 68F, raise to 70F at peak of fermentation, and let sit in primary for a total of 14 days. Cold crash for 2 days to 40F, rack to secondary and then bring back to 70F for dry hopping. 3 day dry hop. Bottle and condition for 21 days at 70F.
