Lichtenhainer - I Hardly Know Her | Philly Sour Yeast | BJCP 27A | Sour and Smokey Ale

- In my quest to brew categories and styles that I haven't done before and finding the BJCP Historical Style Guidelines interesting I decided to make an attempt at brewing a Lichtenhainer.
Described as a Sour and Smokey Ale it seemed weird enough, but I didn't want to go what seemed the normal route with Lacto, so I reached for the Philly Sour yeast.
The brew day was a live stream linked below incase you are curious.

Very interesting! Sours and smoke are not my cup of tea, but some reason, I’d love to try it
I think you'd like a good example, this is not one of them... 🤣
I could totally picture that Applewood bacon aroma from the smoked malt and the philly sour yeast. Philly often smells apple forward and quite odd to be honest. In the end though, it cleans itself up and that odd aroma goes away in the finished beer. I haven't used it in a while but I do enjoy that yeast for easy souring. Saves time and does the job well enough.
Dude I was really hopeful when I was kegging! One day! Cheers my friend!
I've made the style twice (once with Philly and once with Sourvisiae) and both times they won ribbons. However, I have never been happy with the amount of smoke - I want more! I'd be curious if the person who won Best of Show shared their recipe with you? My theory is the so few people purchase smoke malt that it loses its smoke. I used 50% last time and still not enough.
Howdy! Yes he just shared his recipe with me this morning after he saw this video. I am waiting for his permission to share it.
Cheers!
50/50 wheat/beechwood. Lactic acid, Saaz, imperial Kaiser. He’s got the recipe if anyone wants it
@@GossorinoBrewingThanks! Had a feeling at least 50 percent smoked malt was the key. Plus that it's fresh I am guessing. That wasn't smoked wheat was it? Congratulations on BOS for a Lichtenhainer!
@@srjmplsno, just plain ol white wheat. I’ve only used smoked wheat in a Piwo Grodziskie. My LHBS doesn’t carry beechwood, so I had to order it. Came from MoreBeer, which I think is probably the second biggest online retail supplier? So I think it was probably pretty fresh
@@GossorinoBrewing Thanks again. I feel like there are a lot of BAD Lichtenhainer recipes out there, probably because it's such a lost style. But a lot of recipes say to use smoked wheat only, and at pretty low percentages. That's clearly not good advice, unless perhaps it just came out of the smoker!
I've never had this style before, sounds interesting. Philly sour on a wheat beer? It's like you took a nice Catholic girl and turned her wild. lol.
Hahaha! It's my first time using this yeast. Definitely thinking I need to use it again!
The beer style definitely sounds interesting, but does the smoke flavor and aroma need to be really pronounced?
According to style guidelines it looks like the smoke should be moderately strong and the sour should be light. This beer I would say is kind of flopped around. But I don't know how others will perceive it. I haven't had the opportunity to share this one yet.
@@jaggersbrewingco Gotcha! 👍🏾
