Terrific video! Some good talking points in there too about how the internet is helping beer, especially. Well done Poland!

Here you have export label in English.

About recipe, the hardest thing is that Grodziskie was made of 100% smoked (oak) wheat malt. And in Europe there is no malting company, which produced this kind of malt. So many of us use wheat malt + smoked barley malt, but some of us smoke wheat malt on their own.
The recipe I used is:
smoked barley malt 1,5kg
wheat malt 1kg
aroma hops pellets 50g (it was Lubelski, similar to Saaz)
yeast like to koelsch, e.g. S-33

Mash:
5 litre water temp. 40C - add malts
30min in 37C
add 2l hot (boiling) water
20min in 50C
add 3l hot water and heat
30min in 70C

Boiling:
90min
30g hops at the bginning
20g hops after 20 minutes.

EDIT:And the most important it was bottle conditioned.

I'm making it! Please, what was the final quantity for the recipe you posted?

I have a warm fuzzy feeling about our new Polish connections.

Just saw this, oddly enough while I was in Germany. Awesome work guys!

Time to put my PR hat on and get the word out about your video!

Yes, I was glad to hear that too.

I have learned SO much and all of it vicariously thru you all before actually becoming a brewer myself. It's great when most experienced forum members resist the urge to lambast a newbie for asking a dumb question (because that only serves to make us feel like we're not worthy to be part of the members only club). Sometimes we just don't know what to search for to get the answer to our questions and have to ask them.

The Wise Mr. Garrison said:
"There are no stupid questions, only stupid people."

Can't wait to be one of you!
