Building on what I have been learning here, this is my latest recipe in the kegs. The below recipe calls for all the Sorghum in at 60 minutes, this is actually split evenly with half going in at the beginning and half at flame out.
The candi sugar was made at home using DAP and the method linked below. You can pick up pure DAP from More Beer, a pound of it is cheap and will last a long time.

I am also experimenting with yeast nutrients during fermentation, using a step feeding plan similar to what is used with mead. There is NO sorghum twang present on the last two gluten free beers using this method. Highly recommend trying it out on your next beer.
