    What NA Beer are you drinking now? And what NA beers are you liking?

    Similar to the other very popular thread here "What are you drinking now?" I wanted to do one for Non-Alcoholic (NA) Beers only (and hopefully there's not already a thread for this). Why the hell would I drink NA beer??? See below** Tonight I'm drinking Athletic Brewing's Free Wave Hazy IPA...

    Finally got my hands on some Ghostfish

    I found that a local beer shop here in Spokane is now carrying Ghostfish Brewing's Peak Buster DIPA! They also carry Ground Breaker (fka Harvester) from Portland and Glutenberg. Since I've crafted many of my early recipes from Jason's Grapefruit IPA at Ghostfish (Igliashon here on HBT) I was...

    Buckwheat and Millet Pale Ale brewday recap

    Finally carved out a day to attempt a new recipe using Glutarded Chris' mashing method. I think the day went OK, but I had the usual last minute snafus. The good news is whether its good luck or dumb luck I managed to hit good gravities. Here's a snippet from my brew log, below. I was a...

    Grapefruit IPA v5

    I've been working on variations of Ghostfish Brewing's Grapefruit IPA since Igs first published his blog post in Jan 2014. I've since moved to All Grain in the process and here's what I did a week or so ago. The recipe: https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/grapefruit-ipa-v5 11.0 lb Pale Millet...

    PPG and L for Buckwheat groats

    Hi folks, anyone know the PPG and Lovibond numbers for unmalted buckwheat groats (such as Bob's Red Mill)? I'm going to try this for the first time to improve head retention and body of the beer. I want to plug this ingredient into my recipe and these values are typically required. Searching...

    Grouse's Banjo Brown single infusion

    I've been doing GF IPAs and some fruit beer experiments and recently had a successful GFAG Grapefruit IPA that's going fast. I could take the easy route and do the same batch, after all its delicious and its like I said, going fast. :mug: But I've lately been hankerin' for some darker...

    First GF AG test batch

    So all in all things went sorta OK and its been an exciting process. Here's what I did and I'll ask a question or two and hope to hear some helpful comments on my process. This was basically an attempt at this single infusion mash...

    BIAB Grain Absorption value for millet malt

    I don't expect anyone will know this (its probably elusive like PPG for millet malts) but I'll ask nonetheless... does anyone know the grain absorption value appropriate for Grouse millet malts for this BIAB calculator...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    Hey gang, I've been reviewing the processes you guys use for AG mashes with millet, etc. and if I'm not mistaken you guys are all doing step mashes with a range of temps, more or less using this technique: http://www.glutenfreehomebrewing.org/lavery_brewing_tutorial.php Recently, I saw...

    dedicated mill for GF

    Edit: In retrospect the title of my post is confusing. If I could rename this thread, I'd rename it to: "Are used mills suitable for GF grains like millet malt". OK folks, I had an order ready to go with http://www.glutenfreehomebrewing.org/store for all-grain GF batch I want to try and...

    steeping Millet for partial mashes

    Fellas, I've done about 4 GF batches with extracts (sorghum, brs, honey, sugars) and I've really liked all the batches so far. I want to up my game a little and do partial mashes like I used to do with barley recipes back in the "old days". Igs' Grapefruit IPA recipe got me going and then I've...

    sorghum and sour beers?

    I was flipping through the latest BYO magazine and they've focused quite a bit of content this month on sour beers. I tend to enjoy a good sour beer and this got me to thinking: would the sorghum twang lend itself to a sour beer recipe ? I was thinking that the answer might be yes and...

    Tweason'Ale clone

    Why? My wife challenged me to clone Tweason'ale by Dogfish Head, a strawberry pale ale (GF). She's also GF and loved Tweason'ale (she's a cider fan and before going GF a wheat-beer girl). I like a challenge at times. :) Tweason'ale seems like a pretty simple recipe but I haven't found an...

    Grapefruit IPA results (1st GF batch)

    I did this recipe back in early march and its in the keg about 2 weeks now. http://ghostfishbrewing.com/ghostfishblog/gfhomebrewing-grapefruit-ipa/ All in all I am pretty happy with the result. Its tastes like a solid IPA and I'm thinking that its going to be a good basis for adaptation and...

    weighing ingredients

    I did my first gluten free batch yesterday. It was a Grapefruit IPA from Igliashon's new brewery Ghostfish IPA. The grapefruit zest had me at hello. One of the things that was new to me (well a lot was new), was getting the right amount of fermentable ingredients into the kettle. For...

    Kegged a batch but missed my FG by a bit

    I just kegged a Brewer's Best Extract Kit Falconer's Flight Extra IPA. The FG target was 1.016 - 1.019 but I got a 1.021. (Total was 7 days in primary bucket, 7 days in secondary carboy) I could put it in the fridge and a carb it, but I was wondering if it makes any sense to let the keg sit...

    ham fisted my fridge's freezer, broke the line

    In a youtube video I watched a dude convert a small fridge to hold a corny keg. Of course, just when I had it moved up and away, I decided to push it just a little more and pfffff.... kinked the line and the refrigerant went hissing off into thin air. So, before I take this thing to the...
