Ok. So here's my lastest GF, and sorghum free, beer. This is for a 2.5 gallon batch.
Grains/ Fermentables
4 lbs Brown Rice LME
2 lbs Quinoa, Roasted 40 Lovibond
2 lbs Buckwheat
13.5 oz Raw Buckwheat Honey (added at flameout)
Hops
.5 oz Northern Brewer @ 60 min
.4 oz Cascade @ 10 min
.5 oz Kent Goldings @ 10 min
.6 Cascade @ flameout
Yeast
1 packet S-04
Other
1 Whirlfloc Tablet @ 10 min
The OG was 1.060, and the FG dropped further than i thought to 1.010, making it 6.8% ABV. The original wort sample was overpoweringly bitter. The hop schedule was a bit random and mostly composed of what I had laying around. After carbonating, chilling, and tasting, I can say that much buckwheat honey in a 2.5 gallon batch is WAAAAAY overpowering. It doesn't taste all that alcoholic or hoppy for the matter. It's basically a buckwheat honey beer, but not it a bad way. I cut the honey in half if I was to do the recipe again.
