Gose

Gose (Goes-uh) is a salty, sour, beer from Goslar, Germany that is brewed with at least 50% malted wheat. Gose has a low hop bitterness and aroma and gets a lemony character from the use of coriander. The straw like colored Gose (2-6 SRM) sits at a sessionable ABV around 3-5%, made up of mostly pilsner and wheat. Gose is usually unfiltered, so some hazyness is to be expected.

2. Mash in at 145*f for 60 minutes, make sure to add the hops to the mash.
3. Sparge as normal.
4. Bring wort to a boil add salt and coriander and cut the heat.
5. Chill wort down to 95*f, transfer to a CO2 purged carboy or keg. Add the 1l OYL-605 Lactobacillus Blend starter. Allow it to sour for 24 hours. No external heating is required.
6. After the souring phase, pitch WLP644 Trois. You can aerate if you feel necessary. After 2 weeks a stable gravity should be reached.
