if you dont want to push the funds for AG, you could do steeps.
for some of my non-AG brews i take the grain that i want the flavor from and steep it like a giant A$$ tea bag. then i use tapioca syrup for the ferment-able sugar (its has an incredibly neutral flavor) and brew per extract rules.

remember that tapioca and rice syrups dont have te flavor profile that sorghum does, so youll want to minimash/steep/ find some vague way of adding grain flavors

for AG, aim high, AIM REALLY HIGH, i get sub 50% effeciency. ( typical run 5lbs of chestnuts+ 2-3lbs rice flakes+ 1-2lb honey=4-5%abv

i use chestnuts, because i found a source for roasted chips. they are more fruit than nut, that being the case there is less oils/protein than that of oh say peanuts. you could also add pectic enzyme, should clear the chestnut brew haze up a bit (like i said more fruit than nut)
