I've been doing a lot of reading on GF beer on this site and decided to give Lee's chestnut beer a go. The recipe is at http://www.chestnuttrails.com/pages/chestnut-beer. I've seen some older posts on this but was wondering if anyone has brewed this, or a variation of this recently and has any tips or suggestions for me? I'm new to brewing (this will be my third batch!) and am still trying to figure everything out.
It seems like people before have either mashed in a cooler or an oven...any word on which one works better for the chestnuts?
And this is probably a stupid question but I am guessing that if I was going to do a yeast starter, I shouldn't use regular DME to stay GF. If so what should I use instead, or should I just skip the starter?
I plan on brewing on Monday, so any input would be appreciated
