Notes: I found this recipe on Brewer's Friend and the notes below this paragraph 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 I got it from Matt. I went from 6.25 to 7 pounds for this recipe. I am using Safale K97 German Ale yeast again and only 0.5 pounds of rice hulls as 1.5 pounds was too much last time. I used 1 ounce of homegrown hops at around 5.5 AA (4.5 AA last time) rather than 1.5 ounce at 3.75 AA. IBUs went from 23.77 to 20.34. Saaz were 3.2 AA vs 3.5 and that dropped the IBUs from 1.83 to 1.61 for the 15 minute and from 0.16 to 0.14 for the 1 minute hop. Also, last batch the strike water was not enough, I started at 13 liters and had to add 6, so I am just starting with 19 liters this time.

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.

FG: 1.006 – 1.012

Notes: Brewing Process:

Mash: Conduct a single infusion mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes to achieve a balanced fermentable sugar profile.

Boil: Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule above.

Fermentation: Cool the wort to 68°F (20°C) and pitch the yeast. Ferment at this temperature until completion.

Dry Hopping: After primary fermentation, add the dry hops and allow them to steep for 3-5 days to impart the desired aroma.

Packaging: Once fermentation and dry hopping are complete, package the beer through bottling or kegging, ensuring proper carbonation.

Additional Tips:

Water Profile: Aim for a water profile that accentuates hop bitterness and clarity, typical of West Coast IPAs.
Beer Advocate

Clarity: To achieve the characteristic clarity of PIG IPA, consider using fining agents or cold crashing before packaging.

Bellwoods PIG IPA - CLONE

Style:
West Coast IPA

ABV:
7.0%

Appearance:
A clear, deep golden to light amber color with a moderate white head that laces the glass as you drink.

Aroma:
Intensely hop-forward with bright citrus, resinous pine, and tropical fruit notes. Expect a burst of pineapple, apricot, grapefruit, and dank pine aromas from the Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade, and Columbus hops.

Flavor:
A bold, hop-driven profile with a crisp and slightly dry finish. The first sip delivers a balance of citrusy grapefruit, tropical pineapple, and stone fruit sweetness, followed by resinous pine and herbal bitterness. A touch of bready malt from pale and Munich malts supports the hop character without overshadowing it.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, providing a smooth yet crisp texture. The bitterness is firm but not overwhelming, giving it a clean and refreshing West Coast-style finish.

Overall Impression:
PIG IPA is a classic West Coast IPA that delivers a crisp, bitter, and resinous experience with layers of tropical and citrus fruit complexity. Its clean fermentation and dry finish make it a highly drinkable yet flavourful hop-forward beer.

1.2g sparge

56 IBU projected (hop utilization set to 5%. The actual is around 7-9%.

3 days fermenting at 1.012. Closed sounding valve at 3 days. Dry hopped at 7 days, keep hops in contact for 3-5 days and transfer to serving keg for best results. You can keep the beer in the dry hopping vessel but only if it will be consumed in less than a few days for best hop aroma and flavour.

At 7 days beer is sweet with a bit of bitterness and high tropical, berry, and stonefruit aroma. Natural carbonation is ok but still needs at least 5 more days of carbonation. (total carb time at 10psi was 4 days by this point).
