First time in a long time lol... I want to get back into making my own beer this fall. I've got a two year old now so I'm looking for ways to save time. I found an online shop called Great Fermentations that offers grain bills milled to order (Beer Brewing Grains) Does anyone have any...

Why 15 pounds instead of 9?

The enzymes from the sorghum won't make those unfermentable starches fermentable? should I consider adding enzymes?

Alright, I did some shopping today and picked up some liquid sorghum extract, some maltodextrin, some gluten-free oats, some sprouted quinoa, some millet, and some black rice. I guess this recipe is turning into another derivative rather than an adaptation and I think at this point I am more...

What would it take to accomplish that? Would you have to steep everything or would it also involve malting?

Thanks for referring me to that sticky. The beer is primarily for my father-in-law who was diagnosed with Ceiliac's this Summer. Even though he often enjoys gluten-reduced beers like Omission and Daura, his condition was mostly asomptomatic so I think I would feel better about staying away from...

Cool. Has anyone tried it?

I've got this recipe that I really enjoy and I would like to make a gluten-free version. I realize that a straight-up conversion may not be possible, but I would be satified with an approximation. I suppose that I need some more education on gluten-free brewing first. From what I've gathered...

Thanks, but unfortunately, that source goes into a little too much detail with regard to CO2 volumes, and thereby seems somewhat prone to error. I just need to convert from a mass of DME to a volume of wort of a certain specific gravity. I just picked up Papazian's The Home Brewer's...

Papazian's The Complete Joy of Home Brewing provides a formula for speise (gyle) that assumes a priming rate of 3/4 cup of corn sugar per 5 gallons. Snyder's The Brewmaster's Bible provides a table which assumes a five gallon batch. Neither source takes into account the residual carbonation from...

How big was the batch and what other grains did you use? I am trying to gauge how much purple a given amount of black rice might add.

Sure, if I can find it. Extract level? I thought about simply specifying the mass of sugar and a volume of water according to the amount of maple syrup I'd add, but I'd rather not kludge it if I don't have to. UPDATE: I guess the sucrose content in the various grades of maple syrup are the...

Beer Smith tells me that the potential for Maple Syrup is 1.030, and that its dry yield fine grain is 65.20%. However, I doubt these values because Beer Smith doesn't make any distinction between the different grades of maple syrup. I have some grade A dark amber that I'd like to add to a...

I don't know about the mash, but I suspect that Rhoobarb uses such a large sparge volume just because he'll boil off that much. Adjust according to your equipment.

I like your recipe and would like to try brewing it. However, I only have a five gallon mash tun. Any advice on scaling your recipe down? Do I need to have a 0.4 gal.H2O/lb ratio for the mash?
