Brewer's Notes
Also known as Leipziger Gose, this beer is sour (lactic), salty (brackish), wheaty, lowly bittered and flavoured with coriander.
Mash in at 38C with 7 litres of water. Leave (covered) for an acid/hydration rest and souring rest for 24-48 hours. Then rest at 66 C for 120 min, before mash out at 71 C.
Use rice gulls to quell the sticky mash, and allow runoff instead of a stuck sparge.
Boil for 60 min, adding the bittering hops for 45, and flavour hops for 15 min.
Add freshly crushed coriander seed in a hop bag for the last 15 min of the boil, and dissolve the 40g sea salt at any time during the boil. I added it at the same time as the coriander.
ADJUST salt to taste!
Serve straight up, with raspberry syrup, or any schnapps.
My IBU calcs give 9.8 IBU from the Hallertau and 3.7 IBU from the Perle (Beersmith).
