Notes: If Cara Blonde is not available to you, use 10L. Galaxy is pivot-able to this recipe, I suggest not substituting for it. Works well with Kolsch yeasts too.

Notes: Overall Impression: A low-gravity, bitter, oak-smoked historical central European wheat beer with a clean fermentation profile and no sourness. Highly carbonated, dry, crisp, and refreshing.
Aroma: Low to moderate oak wood smoke is the most prominent aroma component, but it can be subtle and complex. 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. Light sulfur is optional.
Appearance: Pale yellow to gold in color with excellent clarity. A tall, billowy, white, tightly knit head with fantastic 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 more robust in flavor than in aroma. The smoke character is gentle, should not be acrid, and can lend an impression of sweetness. A moderate to solid 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 relatively high and can add a slight carbonic bite or prickly sensation—no alcohol warmth.
Comments: Pronounced in English as “pivo grow-JEES-kee-uh” (meaning: Grodzisk beer) and known as Grätzer (pronounced “GRATE-sir”) in German-speaking countries and some beer literature and traditionally made using a multi-step mash, a long boil (~2 hours), and multiple ale yeast strains. The beer is never filtered, but Isinglass is used to clarify before bottle conditioning and is traditionally served in tall conical glassware to accommodate the vigorous foam stand.
History: It developed as a unique style centuries ago in the Polish city of Grodzisk (known as Grätz when ruled by Prussia and Germany). In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its fame and popularity rapidly extended to other parts of the world. Regular commercial production declined after WWII and ceased in the 1990s. This style description describes the traditional version during its period of incredible popularity.
Characteristic Ingredients: Oak-smoked wheat malt, which has a less intense smoke character than German Rauchmalz, and a drier, crisper, leaner quality – a smoky bacon or ham flavor is inappropriate—traditional Polish, Czech, or German hops. Moderate hardness sulfate water. Clean, attenuative ale yeast; Weizen yeast inappropriate.
Style Comparison: Similar in strength to a Berliner Weisse, but never sour and much more bitter. It has a smoked character but is less intense than in a Rauchbier. It has lower gravity than a Lichtenhainer but is more bitter and not sour. It's more bitter than a Gose, but no salt and spices.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.028 – 1.032
IBUs: 20 – 35 FG: 1.006 – 1.012
SRM: 3 – 6 ABV: 2.5 – 3.3%
Commercial Examples: Live Oak Grodziskie

Notes: Hopstand is 2 stages of equal amounts. 1st addition @ flameout, chill to 160 and add second addition. Let steep for 30 min, stirring every 5 min.
Dry hop is 2 stages of equal amounts. 1st addition on day 3-4 of fermentation and second addition 4-5 days later. Allow 2nd addition 4-5 days contact time prior to kegging. Cold crash overnight if desired prior to kegging.

Notes: Style calls for carbonation to be 3.3 vols up to 4+. I traditionally have excessive carbonation when priming to recommendation, so I am priming for 3.0 vols...assuming it will finish higher.

Need at least 6 gallons for boil, but shooting for 7 gal. I want to have at least 5.5 in primary fermentation, so that I can hopefully package at least 5 gallons.

Porcini tea at bottling is optional.I will taste before bottling and make the decision at that time.

Notes: ACTUAL:

Decoction Mashed.

- Mashed in with 120F water to reach +/- 110. Held for 10 minutes.
- 1st decoction (1/3 of mash). decoction brought to 150, held for 15 min. Brought to boil, boil for 10 min, returned to mash.
- Temp check 125F, then immediately to 2nd decoction.
- 2nd decoction (1/3 of mash), brought to boil, boil for 10 min, returned to mash. (temp check here was supposed to be 150, only hit 135, so proceeded with additional decoctions to bring temp up)
- 3rd decoction (1/3 of mash), brought to boil then added back to mash.
- 4th decoction (1/3 of mash) brought to boil then added back to mash. Temp check at +/- 145F. Held here for 30 min.
- Stirred in rice hulls, sparged with 175F.
