Recipe provided by Ryan Schenian via Grainfather recipe app. A take on the historical Polish beer style brewed with 100% oak-smoked wheat malt, this beer is low-ABV, bitter, and bubbly — there’s a reason they call it “the Champagne of Poland.” Ryan has brewed this beer several times using different yeast strains – this version of the recipe includes Wyeast 2565 Kolsch strain. To hear about the results when using a couple of other strains, watch this Chop & Brew tasting notes video [link TBD].
