So I've seen data showing that potatoes have enzymes and can self convert. I've also seen complex methods trying to extract sugars. Has anyone just tried mashing at 155 for an hour and a half? I was thinking of doing just this, and adding some instant rice and then aging sorghum syrup during...

I am doing an american wheat beer with a 1:1 ration of pilsner and wheat malts. I am going to try fly sparging for the first time and I am concerned about the "gumminess" of the mash. Last time I did a wheat beer I had a stuck sparge. Since I was batch sparging it wasn't a huge deal. I see beta...

OK guys, wife is tired of the yellow sorghum beers. She wants something closer to a stout or a porter. I have some ingredients on hand that i think might get me close to what she is looking for. I just need a tad bit of advice on a few things. I was thinking of notty yeast and uk fuggles and...

Soo, was clearing out some malts that seemed like they would make a good porter. It wasn't until AFTER i mashed in that I realized that honey malt goes a long way. I'm guessing 2 pounds is way to much. Go ahead and chuckle at my expense, i'm sure i deserve it

So SWMBO has some time off from her master's accounting and human education programs and is tired of wine. She is forcing me to bring my extract pot out of retirement and show her how a GF ale is brewed. She is twisting my arm to the point it might snap ;). We are going to make a simple cascade...

I've noticed that I can only find gluten free ales. Has anyone done a gf lager? Or did I overlook a recipe. I have a fridge that will accommodate my 2.5 gallon mr beer fermenter. Don't laugh, you'd use it too :P

Any thoughts on how the gold mesh filter such that is used in coffee filter would react with the mash and wort? I have a nice roll of the stuff someone gave me. I also have some 24"x1/2" stainless steel springs I would wrap it around for rigidity. I figure if it is in hot coffee environment it...

Whilst I sip my first mini-mashed brew I started pondering the lead to all grain. I have the coolers I can convert, most of the pieces to convert the cooler, but only a 6 gallon pot. While I was thinking whether to use the stainless steel braid and spring or create a manifold, something...

Does anyone make them? Do you use sorghum extract? BRS with a yeast nutrient? Haven't made any yet, but I was thinking about it for the next batch, just to have something to play around with

So, the first picture is right after the chill and pitch. The next us about four to five hours after, and the few after that a span of fifteen to twenty minutes. The last was taken around eight this morning. I couldn't get over the color change. There is something of awe watching the little...

So I Have a pale ale in primary( bucket type) and I am brewing again this weekend. A gluten free pale ale for SWMBO. Should I rack the week old batch to my Carboy and ferment the new batch in the bucket type or just ferment the gfpa in the better bottle. Keep inning there is almost no krausen on...

So my package arrived from Midwest and my wife was being being awesome opening my package (giggity) to pull out the couple of yeast packs I had in there and store the in the fridge. The only pack of dry yeast managed to stick itself to a small amount of tape and was cut when she was opened it...

Ok, so I wanted to throw my wife into the world of hoppy beers:rockin: I figured I would ease her into it with a GF Pale ale. I welcome any critiques or changes. I am also hoping to do this for the least amount of $ as I am going to try and brew this every month and have it as a house brew and...

So, I'll be attempting my first GF brew (SWMBO has the celiacs and misses beer) and she picked out LCassanova's converted DFH recipe. After much research, deliberation and a beer, I thought about making some changes. I was hoping to get some feedback from some more experienced brewers (This...
