BeerCoAU - Howzat Gose All-Grain Recipe Kit https://beerco.com.au/collections/all-grain/products/howzat-gose-beerco-all-grain-recipe-kit Howzat! When you want something that is line and length and pitch perfect every time sometimes you need to turn back time and dig into brewing history for some brewspiration! Howzat | Gose is a classic German style reincarnated that is Leipziger Gose. This spontaneously top-fermented German style wheat beer is an uncommon brew soured via lactic fermentation and flavored with coriander and salt. Just what you need to keep the throat wet when your screaming Howzat! at the Umpire or the Television during the #SummerofCricket #Howzat #Gose better get your brewing on and brew some! This is a starting point with grainbill and hops for the All-Grain Kit. Adjust equipment profile, mash profile and efficiency as per your own setup. Brewing salts and kettle finings such as Whirlfloc are optional , the recipe would benefit from a simple addition of 5g Calcium Sulphate mixed with the grains at the start of the mash. Method: 1. Mill the grains, but be sure to keep the acidulated malt separate. Do not mill the rice hulls. 2. Mash at 64-66° C for 45- 60 minutes until conversion is complete 3. Dough in all but the acidulated malt using 15 L of water with a target mash holding temperature of 65 °C. 4. Hold the mash temperature for approximately 60 minutes or until the conversion is complete. Add the acidulated malt to the mash for an additional 45 minutes. Try to keep the temperature as close to original mash temperature as possible using an available heat source. Anything between 62–65 °C will work. 5. Raise the temperature of the mash to 76 °C and begin sparging with 77 °C water until you collect 23 L of wort in the kettle. 6. Cool, then add Lactobacillus to the kettle when the wort temperature drops below 35°C. Hold temperature at 32°C, cover, and let sour for 1–3 days. After the wort has soured, boil for 90 minutes. 7. Purged Kettle with CO2 and covered with Cling Wrap. Keep the wort at 32° C for 24 - 72 hrs until you get the pH down to 3.2. 8. The total wort boiling time for this recipe is 90 minutes. At the onset of a full rolling boil, add your scheduled hop addition. When there are 15 minutes remaining in the boil, be sure to add your Irish moss or Whirlfloc® tablet to help with precipitation of the hot break.  At 10 minutes remaining, add both the ground coriander seed and the salt. 9. The coriander seed you add should be fresh and freshly ground. You may even want to toast the seeds in a dry pan for 5–10 minutes like the chefs do to bring out the essential oils. 10. Both the salt and coriander should be added with 10–15 minutes remaining in the boil. You can correct low levels of salt or coriander in the keg or bottling bucket — another reason to start at the low end. 11. Cool the wort to 68 °F (20 °C), transfer to your fermentation vessel and aerate the wort adequately. Add the contents of your yeast starter to the chilled wort. Ferment around 68 °F (20 °C) until the final gravity is reached, which should be in 5 to 7 days. Rack to a secondary vessel and allow the beer to mature another 5 to 7 days around the same temperature. Your beer is now ready to rack into a keg or bottles along with the priming sugar. 12. Ferment for up to 10 days until two days same final gravity reading then Keg or bottle happy! 13. Package it up and carbonate to 2.75 volumes of CO2 - much like the Berliner, this should be a highly carbonated, “spritzy” beer!
