Wow thanks!

Bill- I noticed that the spreadsheet no longer lists the difference between what I (over)paid and what was owed (ahtanum) got cancelled. Was the difference returned via paypal, or will you be distributing cash? Ghoti will be picking up for me, so I wanted to know ahead of time. Thanks!

I am done with work in downers grove at 3:30. I can stop by on the way home. PM your address and what I owe you if possible so I can be prepared :) thanks for making this happen!

I can pick up Friday.

I am good with CMC 2-row and best malz Munich.

I'm fine with Canada Malting or Rahr, whatever is cheaper.

Anyone have any tips on clearing out the beer after the dryhop? I dryhopped in a fine mesh bag with glass marbles to keep it submerged, but the final result was hazy. I used Irish moss in the boil and use clarex to make gluten drop for my gluten sensitive wife (it does work for her)- but still...

Excellent. I can't swallow paying $45/sack at the brew and grow again.

I'm also in Lombard, and depending on pricing, would be in for two sacks, maybe three.

Tasted today when putting it in the secondary. It was not pleasant, very bitter an astringent, but the sample had a lot of the sediment in it, as well as some of the pellet hop. I'm staying optimistic. We will see what happens. Gonna give it a week with the dry hop. Probably condition 3 weeks...

So this has been in the carboy for 15 days. It just stopped bubbling on day 13, and there's still a bit of krauesen on top. Used s-04 rehydrated w/o a starter. Primary fermentation seriously lasted almost two weeks. Is this normalish? Regardless, I'm transferring to secondary and dry hopping...

Thanks for the feedback! I will be brewing this tomorrow. I'll keep everyone posted!

I don't think I'll get much in terms of flavor from the oats, but I thought that it may aid in head retention and a little better feel to the beer. I want this beer to seem as "real" as possible. Most, if not all, the commercial GF beers are not very good.

Oh I should add that it should be rice syrup solids in the mash, not liquid. That was what the program had in its database. Sorry about that

So, this will be my first GF brew, 2nd brew ever. Since you all have more experience with the GF thing, I thought I'd post up the recipe and get your input. Little less of this, little more of that, etc. Style: American Pale Ale Type: Partial Mash Calories: 157 Rating: 0.0 Boil Size: 3.24...
