My head is spinning from all the recipes I've looked at. Many too complicated for my first batch. Some have too many ingredients I don't have. Some just don't sound good. Some looked simple/easy but turned out weren't a good idea...
Anyway, I've adopted this:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f164/help-me-get-started-first-gf-brew-198253/index2.html#post2311712
to match what I have on hand. I turned the hops way down as the GF-SWMBO is not a fan of hoppy beer. I'm calling it "GIT-ON-WIDIT" cause it's time to throw research and expertise to the wind and just get something in the fermenter.
Here's the recipe:
2.5 gallon batch, Full boil, 60 minutes
2lbs NB White Sorghum
.5lbs Candi Sugar, Dark
.25 oz Amarillo
1lbs Brown Rice Syrup (15 mins)
.25 oz Amarillo (15 mins)
Using SafeAle US-05
According to BeerSmith - OG 1.049, IBU 24 (my AA is 9.2%), SRM 24, ABV 4.5%
2-3 weeks in the primary at room temp (68 @ night, ~72 during the day)
Bottle with priming sugar and let it be.
I'm not looking back here for comments until after it is in the fermenter tomorrow!
