Looks great Jabba. I'm lucky, my LHBS has Sorghum, brown rice, and tapioca extracts for a decent price. My batches run about $35 for 5 gal. I like to put my coriander in a bag then use a rolling pin. Tried the coffee grinder and I feel like I got more pepper type flavor than I wanted. I...

I'm in Fort Collins and can't wait to try your beers! My wife is excited too. Are you going to do any tastings or brewfests?

Looks great! Count me in please!

I second all that Osedax. I've even started whirlpooling a second time (just stirring fast in circles for 20 seconds) after the wort is completely chilled. Then putting the cover on and leaving for 30-45 minutes. I have a ton of cold break with my all grain gluten free beers and this seems to...

FYI I wouldn't use dried apricots. Found out they let off sulfur. Dumped a batch because I thought it was infected because of that. Hope it turns out! Here's the photo of mine, I really liked the color. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That looks typical for me. It clears pretty well after fermentation. Mine are hazy but a nice "wit" haze. :) Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Sounds awesome. I'd love to see the recipe. I brew gluten free for my wife and she used to like porters and stouts. So far I've only brewed summer "wit" type beers.

I really wish I would have read this a couple hours ago! I just brewed an all grain gluten free Apricot IPA (based on Aprihop from Dogfish Head) and dumped the whole carboy because it smelled like sulfur... The wort tasted so good too. Also my brew day was 9 hours thanks to a mash that would not...

Hey Osedax, Did you use a White Labs culture for the Brett? Or did you grow it up somehow to be GF? I want to start experimenting with some funky gluten free beers and I'm thinking I might "wash" the WL Brett vial using a two step rice solids starter. Have you posted that apricot imperial...

Sounds great. The oats are a good idea. I wouldn't steep sorghum again, I think I got a slickness in the mouthfeel from it. I did this again and used Crystal Millet from Grouse Malting Co here in CO. and that turned out really great. I'm doing an all grain GF Apricot IPA (want to get...

I haven't used cascade yet but I should! I usually just stick with noble hops but these sounded interesting and perfect for this beer. Hoping to do variations of this with raspberry and pink peppercorn (a wife pleaser), and also try mango jalapeño. Maybe switch it up and try cascade too.

Hey guys, Just brewed this for my wife (gluten intolerant) a couple weeks ago. Tried it this past weekend and I couldn't keep enough of them cold. She loved this beer, as did my regular beer drinking friends and it's still quite young. Hoping the supposed apricot flavor/aroma from the hops...
