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.

Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
Kevin's stout brewing had one of the better stories of the day as our intrepid leader realized he had forgotten the Target hops slated for the recipe (1.5 oz). So with a little bit of scrounging Kevin secured an extra 2 ounces of Saaz hops from the Rhudes and proceed to make a Saaz hopped Milk Stout. |

Gladfield American Ale, Toffee and Light Crystal Malts
91% Ale Malt
5% Caramel Malt (10ebc fully crystallized malt)
4% Caramel Malt (50ebc)
Mash to achieve 1.056 - 1.012 with WPL001 or WPL810
1.5g/L each Amarillo and Simcoe @ 10 minutes and whirlpool
1g/L Centennial @ 10 minutes and whirlpool
Clean Bittering hops (Pacific Jade or Magnum) to take total IBU's to 50
Dry Hops
3g/L Citra and 1g/L Simcoe around 3 days
Ferment at 18 degrees
Further information is also here:
http://www.cellardweller.net/index.php/en/forum/american-ale/541-panhead-super-charger-apa?limitstart=0
Mash In Add 16.37 l of water at 72.7 C 66.7 C 60 min
Mash Out Add 8.61 l of water at 94.8 C 75.6 C 10 min
Sparge: Fly sparge with 13.98 l water at 75.6 C
A cleaner ferment might bring out the hop and malt a bit more.
A tip from Kelly Ryan is to try a hybrid yeast - a California common - less esters and pulls out hops more.
I thought the bittering hop was a touch harsh which changed the mouthfeel slightly - think Bryan suggests Simone as already in the recipe.
Panhead use pacific jade from memory - other option for USA pale ales is magnum (my pref).
Just gives a smoother cleaner bitterness as a bittering addition. Simcoe can be a little harsh.
Consider longer ferment (at least 2 weeks), plenty of yeast, and a temp raise to 22 for the last few gravity points.
Mash at 65C for 60 minutes
Mash-Out at 75C
Sparge at 75C until preboil volume hits 28L
90 minute boil
Ferment 18-20C
Alternative Yeast to US-05 - White Labs - California Ale Yeast WLP001 or WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast |

Notes: This was a roller coaster ride! Wort boiled with 4 litres of water, plus a litre of Sparge runnings. Cooled down to below 79 C with cooled water and cooled in a bath for 30 minutes. Liquored back with 2 Litres of bottled water from the fridge to OG 1.064. Yeast pitched at 18C. Kept at 18C for three days then allowed to free rise. Ambient temps were up-to 30C over a five day period. Put back in the 18C cooler as I was scared of fusel production at these temps. One more week at 18C. Half way through the week gravity reading revealed 1.000! Crazy! Supposedly 99% attenuation! At bottling at the end of 2 weeks since pitching FG was 1.000. No change, so 8.43% alcohol.
1 week after bottling tasting revealed a creamy head with silky mouthfeel. Due to oats, I guess. No fusel taste but great citrusy ethers. Really can't tell that it was fermenting at 30C for a while! Very tasty and clean. Not clear, but that is due to the oats.
Successful and will get better with age, if I can avoid drinking all of my tiny batch... |

Tossed in the extra 0.5 oz. Centinnial hops at 30 minutes. Added 15 IBUs so may come out too bitter.
---Per NB:
Bridging the gap between the classic American
Pale Ale and West Coast IPA, Kama
Citra is a deliciously decadent session ale
bursting with provocative flavors. Kama
Citra’s enticing and inviting appearance
will open one’s mind to prolonged sessions
of sensual sipping pleasure. Pouring a
tantalizing golden-amber, the seductive
hop aroma gently gives way to a sturdy,
yet flexible malt backbone with a delicate
touch of silky caramel that supports
the highly suggestive combination of juicy
tropical and citrus hop flavor that follows,
leading to a satisfying finish. With an O.G.
of 1.050 there’s no need to deny yourself
what you know your heart truly desires:
more and more of this undeniably irresistible
libation. Indulge your wild side and
experience the Kama Citra. |
