I'll be trying out my first GF recipe this coming Monday and wanted to get your input. I have a few AG batches under my belt and my brewing partner has been brewing AG for about 4 years. This is our first venture into GF.
So far I've gathered the following ingredients:
5# buckwheat honey (Sam from DFH said this is a base he used for Tweasonale)
6# Briess sorghum extract
Safale 04 and 05 dry yeast
We were also thinking of getting some GF oats to add some body to the brew. It looks like locally we get the Bob's Red Mill GF Steel Cut Oats. Anyone have experience with these in a sorghum based beer?
Since we are still learning about GF we were considering a 5 gallon batch split 5 ways into growlers for fermenting. This was we can pitch different yeast and try some different dry hopping.
We are trying to create something my wife can enjoy outside of the less-than-spectacular offerings available commercially. I appreciate the input.
Cheers!
