No Brett. Keith calls it Funktown but generally uses US-05 (and that's what I used). I think he did one batch with the Funktown yeast and the name stuck. If I'm not mistaken he's got a split batch on now with US-05, Funktown, and Conan. So if he doesn't have an answer now he will in a few weeks ;)

Ah, I was under the impression the funktown name was reserved for the APA brewed with funktown :lol:

Yeah so was I originally. But I'm pretty sure he won the gold medal with US-05. And at that point he gets to call it whatever he wants, even if it confuses the rest of us mooks. :)

Had the Abashiri Okhotsk Blue tonight ... it is both a blue beer (gross) and a happoshu (not really beer - brewed with low percentage of barley to avoid being taxed as a beer. see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happoshu" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). It was as unoffensively mediocre as you can imagine.

This is a glass of my very first all grain brew. I've been brewing kits for quite a while now. It was fun but I shagged it up while brewing it. I messed up on the water amounts for sparging and had to add more water later. I also forgot to take gravities. It was an OBK Session IPA but I renamed it "Shagged Up Session IPA" It actually turned out great...I just wish I knew how I did it :D

Yes Keith,
I was just trying to keep everything going while cleaning up the same time. I should have followed a brew day list that I did have printed but didn't use. I did keep notes on most things I did that day. My next brew day will be much smoother for sure. :cheers:
Take care, Bluefin.

Keith is so right. It took me 5 years to settle on a system and "dial it in" the way I want it.

my first lichtenhainer style in my life....
brewed in Poland

about beer:
Historical Beer: Lichtenhainer
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.

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.

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.

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.


Vital Statistics:

OG: 1.032 – 1.040
IBUs: 5 – 12
FG: 1.004 – 1.008
SRM: 3 – 6
ABV: 3.5 – 4.7%

translated not mine, make on I Podlaski hombrew competition

Will you try it again or is the sour and smoke combination off-putting?

another historic style, 100% polish style, - grodziskie/graetzer. After many problem brewery In Grodzisk Wielkopolski was reactivated and again brewed beer on 700 years recepture, information about style from I Podlaski hombrew competition

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 pomme 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 pomme 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.

Overall Impression: A low-gravity, highly-carbonated, light-bodied ale combining an oak smoked flavor with a clean hop bitterness. Highly sessionable.

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 less intense than in a Rauchbier.

Vital Statistics:
OG: 1.028 – 1.032
IBU: 20 – 35
FG: 1.006 – 1.012
SRM: 3 – 6
ABV: 2.5 – 3.3 %

I made one of these last spring when I picked up a bag of Wyermann's oak smoked wheat malt. 100% wheat malt beer. It's been lagering in a keg since then. Interesting style. Very refreshing. Subtle smoke aroma and very low alcohol. I like it. I've been using the malt in a bunch of brews since then just to use it up - the smoke is so subtle that you'd not really pick up on it in a beer if used in moderately low proportions.

Here's a pint I just pulled tonight - I forgot I had it in the fridge.

What type of yeats you used? Brewery used a special yeats made only for this beer and only in this brewery. Some shops for homebrew in Poland sell products to brewed "grodziskie" and they proposed to choice 3 types of yeats: Fermentis S-33 or Wyeast 1007 German ale or Whitelabs WLP011 European Ale

A pretty simple pale ale - really, a blonde ale, but perhaps a bit too dark. Image
