Notes: First brew notes on my other version named Sasquatch Christmas Ale: Used dry US05 yeast first time and it went fine. I would prefer using whole spice in secondary if possible. Vanilla beans split and scooped into secondary. The boil spice additions worked great and were subtle.
Dialed back the caramunich and honey malt which are great malts, but a little overpowering. Came out with a lot of chocolatey, coffee and sweet flavor.
Hops - this hop schedule ended up being a little more bitter than expected, but I did enjoy that flavor addition making the overall flavor a bit more complex. |

Notes: Pga noe høy alkoholprosent brukes 1-5 pk gjær. Rehydreres før den tilsettes på ca. 18-20 gr.
Primærgjæring 20 grader 10-14 dg
Sekundærgjæring: kjølig 2-4 uker.
Bruk ca 1-2 g eik pr.ltr. La de ligge i bourbon 2 dager før de tilsettes Det samme gjøres med vaniljestang.
Etter 2 uker sekundærgjæring, sjekkes smak, og om nødvendig tilsettes mer eik (husk 2 dg i litt bourbon først)

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.
