I am brewing up a brown based on your recipe, just changed the hops a little. Looking forward to it!

If you were doing the brown again, how would you change your original recipe? What did the taste come out as? Which ingredient powered the flavor? I ask this because I have never attempted a malty GF beer...since we don't really have a malt I like the flavor of.

I will be doing it again soon. My most recent changes are a full boil and slightly increasing the IBU's. I'll also be upping the molasses and maple syrup and adding some BRS. The OG is 1.053 for now but I might play around with that.

I thought the beer was fantastic, it turned out wayyy better than I thought it was going to. The sorghum taste was partly there but there were other things present- it's been a long time since I've had it. I'll say though, I really thought that the blackstrap molasses really came into play in this beer. I was worried that it might be too overpowering but it didn't come out that way in the finished product. I'll probably refine the recipe a little bit but it will be mostly identical to the original.

Planning to brew up my 2nd ever batch of GF beer. My goal is to do a basic sorghum beer that tastes pretty good, and I can do easily and consistently. I figure that will be a good starting point to branch off and try different styles and flavors.

I am going with a Sorghum Pale Ale recipe from the site I ordered the Briess syrup, but substituting 2-3# of Brown Rice Syrup for sorghum.

My first batch of GF beer turned out surprisingly drinkable, considering I did not have a clue what I was doing, and now I think this hobby may have me hooked

Nice, maybe you could do 3# sorghum and 3# BRS- I know Midwest Supplies sells 3# or 6# of Sorghum Syrup. I think you'll be happy with a Pale Ale, is it the Simple Simon recipe?

Yeah, I could do 3#. Thanks for the feedback. I already bought 3 1# jars of the Lundberg BRS, but I was not sure how far to go with it.

The recipe was from Austin Homebrew:
Recipe for Gluten-Free Pale Ale (5 Gallon Batch)
6.6 lb. White Sorghum Syrup
1 oz. Cascade hops** (boil for 60 minutes)
1 oz. Cascade hops** (boil 2 minutes)
1 oz. Cascade hops** (dry hop 3-7 days)
1 pkg. Fermentis US-05 dry yeast (gluten free)
1 cup Honey (for bottling)
**Also, try this recipe with other American hops like Ahtanum, Amarillo, Glacier, Palisade, etc. If using high-alpha varieties, such as Columbus, use only 0.5 oz. for the bittering addition.

I will do the 3#/3# sorghum/brs, and I already have the Cascade.
I am not sure about the Honey for bottling. I was thinking about just going with corn priming sugar, which I still have on hand from my first batch.

I got sorghum, time, and 2 empty primaries. Gonna give a go at your pumpkin spice and something else, brown or suggestions. Got a big quinoa ipa in secondary and a light quinoa ipa on oak chips bottle that up in a week or so

I don't know much about using honey at bottling either, I'd use corn sugar myself. Let us know how this one turns out, I've been thinking about an all Cascade Pale Ale at some point.

I think now would be a good time to brew a brown. If you do mine let me know what you think, I'll be brewing it again in a month or so with slight revisions.
