  I believe so - for malted quinoa that's been properly dried (not too hot!). I keep enzymes on
  hand though, so if the mash is taking too long I add enzymes late in the mash (I've done that
  with non-GF ...

  Safa - thanks for asking...The results were terrible. I ended up pouring the batch down the
  drain. What's worse is I have no idea why. The taste was very plastic like, what I've read
  chlorophenols are...

  This is based on my experience and estimates only, I haven't seen it in print anywhere...When I
  malted quinoa and stopped the sprouting right after I had rootlets on the majority of the
  grains, I got ...

  Finished brewing this batch yesterday. I didn’t quite get full conversion, but pretty dang
  close – just a shadow of color change around the iodine drop when I did the starch test. Kind
  of like when in...

  Its too bad with the tests we can't differentiate between starches. Out of everything I've
  tried mashing so far, sweet potato starch has the highest gel temps (172F - 176F). I think you
  may get full c...

  Oh yeah, I saw that thread yesterday morning, wanted to reply but didn't have time. I'm heading
  back now to do so...Maybe for part of this recipe I should mash 1/4# of the quinoa by itself,
  see if it ...

  Oh, no, that's an unwelcome surprise... Have you gotten full conversion adding the enzyme
  formula?

  I apologize I never followed through with this thread - I was fairly disappointed in this
  beer...It doesn't taste much like a brown - the chocolate faded and the sorghum took over. I'd
  say in the futu...

  Part II of my summer wit post. This is the re-worked recipe from part one, which I will attempt
  to brew very soon.I’m excited about this one because I attempted to malt 2.5# of grain (quinoa,
  amaranth...

  This is a wit style beer I made my wife last summer (before I ever heard of this forum). It
  turned out nice, and she absolutely loved it. It’s very low on bitterness (true to style), but
  higher gravit...
