I forgot the 4oz of maltodextrin...

Okay friends, I am "fiending" to brew a batch of beer today... Below is my take on mloster's HBPA. I am concerned that without any sorghum, it will turn out like my blonde ale, which while tasty, has the body of a can of sprite or a glass of champagne, very light with lots of bubbles but no head... Will the buckwheat honey along with copious amounts of maltodextrin help? Also, any other feedback is welcome...

How is this turning out?

Well... I don't know yet. I've been ignoring it. It spent 2 weeks in the primary and now 2 weeks in the secondary; gonna bottle it this weekend.
I have however, changed my batch's name from Hop Bursted Pale Ale to "Bag Bursted Brown Ale"... I was using two 3lb bags (bag in a box) of rice syrup, and while cutting one of the bags open, I ended up pouring most of it all over my kitchen (very messy). I estimate I got about 4lbs of the rice syrup into the boil. So, in a panic to bump up the fermentables, I added 2 more ounces of molasses and a 1lb bag of dark candy crystalized sugar (like a belgium rock candi?) to the boil.
I would be hilarious if this turned out to be my best effort yet. We'll see.

Sounds like something I would do. Let us know how it turns out. Think I'll be making a GF for friends next week. I'm on the fence about cutting the sorghum with rice syrup and buckwheat honey or just not using sorghum.

Sorghum really isn't that bad, you just have to play to its strengths.
