Hi folks,
After a lot of research and advice gathering, I've decided my first batch of GF beer will be an American IPA based on O'Daniel's Gluten Free Sorgham Ale. I'm using Midfielder5's hop schedule (I've got Centennial and Cascade in stock) and Spaced's recommendation to balance the sorgham with buckwheat honey (a la DFH's Tweason'ale). Amaranth and Buckwheat will be from Bob's Red Mill and will be roasted as O'Daniel described.
I'll be brewing sometime next week and will be going half batch size for the trial. In the meantime, I'd very much appreciate any advice for adjusting this recipe. Also, I've gotten different opinions on the timing of the maltodextrine and honey additions - I'd like your thoughts on that.
Thanks!
