Well, it's been a while since I've kept up with the goings on around here and the GF beer movement moves fast, but IMHO the best mouth feel and body your going to get is from sorghum. If you can handle the after taste it's the closest to wheat beer us GF brewers have available. Sent from my...

Tried that Kambucha.....let's just say it's not for me. Actually, IMHO, the challenge is creating a GF with body that has a low alcohol content. It's much easier to make a good GF beer at 7% than 4% in my experience. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

I think OP was me, but I don't use that program....sorry.

Yes, do tell us how it went. I LOVE Two Hearted Ale.

Brewed another version of this on Saturday. I have some friends visiting from the NL in June so I dubbed this "Dutch Invasion IPA". Fermentables: 5lbs sorghum (half added at flameout) 1lb rice syrup solids @ 60 2lbs caramelized clover honey @ 60 1lb clear candi syrup (hard) @ 60 Hops (IBU's...

Excellent questions that I have no answers to, but would like to hear some answers to for myself. So thanks for asking.

Amen. I love cider. Even more now that I can keg.

Really? What would you say the advantages are?

Good to hear. Thanks.

I have nothing more than what has been already recommended other than to say it looks great. Should be a really good beer.

Wow. Nice color! With a drier beer like this I would definitely carb on the high side. Nicely done and nice write up!

My critical critique of this beer mostly revolves around the hop schedule and this is true of most of my beers. The bittering hops in my beers tend to overpower the flavor and aroma ones. It is also a little too dark. I don't care too much about that but I might as well address it in a rewrite...

Nicely done!

I don't know about wine nutrient, but GF beer doesn't absolutely require nutrient. I tried it both ways and seemed to get faster, more fervent fermentation with it, YMMV. Also, some claim that by adding nutrient with DAP you can reduce some of the sorghum twang.

I think that would work fine. And to simplify the process even more you could use the advice igliashon recently gave me and skip dry hopping by adding a bunch of hops at flameout.
