Welcome noontime. I'm probably too new here to welcome you properly, but I will anyway. I've been GF for a year or so now and have brewed maybe 15 or 20 GF beers now with varying success too.

Congrats! Let us know how it goes. I had similar impressions of the chestnuts the first time I brewed with them. It just all seems so similar to an all-grain process using traditional grains.
