This is a simple recipe with sorghum LME base but dressed up with steeped crystal, candy syrup and maltodextrin. This is one of my favorites without doing a partial mash. A variation would be to offset some of the sorghum LME for brown rice syrup.
5 gallon batch
Cracked grain steeped in one gallon of water at 160F for 30 minutes
1 lb Millet Crystal
0.25 lb Buckwheat Crystal
3.5 gallon boil:
6.6 lb Briessweet sorghum LME ( 3.3 lb at 60 min and 3.3 lb at 0 minutes)
0.5 lb Maltodextrin (60 min)
1 lb Belgian Candy Syrup 5L (0 minutes)
Hops:
1 oz Cascade (60 min)
0.5 oz E. K. Goldings (15 min)
1.5 oz E. K. Goldings (0 min)
1 tablet Wirlfloc (15 min)
5 teaspoons yeast nutrient (15 min)
Safale US-05 yeast (hydrated with pre-boilded water at 100F)
Boil Gravity: 1.035 to 1.045
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.012
One week in primary, additional 2 weeks in secondary.
Notes:
At flameout, delay active wart temperature reduction for 15 minutes so the aroma hops can steep.
For bittering hops I target 6 to 7 AAU of anything. I show Cascade above because that is what I had at the time.
My experience is the Goldings hops matches well with the sorghum LME.
The steeped crystal can be any proportion from 100% Millet to 100% Buckwheat.
