I have some copper romex that I washed, sanitized and coiled around the end of mine. It sticks out a little bit in order to keep the tip off the trub, mostly. It keeps the tube decoiled (straight) Makes it work optimally for me. I have to be careful with dryhopped brews clogging it and making...

I had a most odd fermentation schedule with far too long in seconday & primary for that matter with both batches I ran. Lager2 skipped secondary entirely. Other huge differences were Lager2 received Irish Moss which wasnt mentioned in the recipe & I didnt think of it till later or maybe saw that...

I had that same broken white stuff I found in secondary which I had left too long (4.21 to 6.14). I racked under it, after skimming it off, and it reformed in the bottles on the 4th day. So it wasn't barf inducing? How did your beer taste compared to other batches of same? Did it go away or...

ohhh 'sweet' I could get excited about that. I've hit my busy season and I have THREE fermenters fulla beer, two lagers and a flowergarden. I gotta get busy doing homebrewer things. Interesting that lager batch #1 I boiled the honey, and for batch #2 I added the honey later with the yeast...

In order to deal with the somber meaning of Good Friday, I am enjoying the amazing weather and pretend working and doing two boils before church this evening. I have been unable to get to the April 22 boil>primary GF Lager sooner, so it's still in Primary. However, I was able to take...

interesting. sorghum is not malted. its a grassy grain plant native to Africa. It's similar to wheat but lacks the gluten. Test a widely available Redbridge gluten free sorghum beer. if not that curious then skip ahead to honey & apple based home "brews"

Ginger beer for ya...honey & ginger no hops... included in BOTH of the books I mentioned above. What is extra fun about this is making the "bug" which is like making a yeast starter. http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/recipe-ginger-beer/ Edit PS; use honey (raw, unpasteurized) in lieu of...

well Flowergarden is posted somewhere in here however it's all about the hops! So you might want to look up Ed Worts Apflewein (apple cider (or was it juice) and yeast, or the meads which are honey & water. you can do this with commercial or airborne yeasts. These are your best bets for hop free...

good grief. echo all that. It has never been more clear that they are "Medical" doctors (of medicine!), &/or surgery. All ya gotta do with this is quit the gluten. I wish SOME of the gluten information came from the medical community because it would be very helpful with getting the word out...

Lee, Ginger Beer. Hop free. need a recipe?

oh man, I had three more (my limit) Flowergardens tonight and they are beautiful. My best yet. I've made Patersbier, Guinness, Steam Beer, Paulaner Weissbier, American Wheat, and now this Flowergarden and it's distinctly my best. Patersbier was really good. I am hoping the GF Wit will bring me...

make him a hop tea to test the theory? ed worts apfelwein may be something us GF people should really get to know. thats still on my to do list

GF IPA "Flowergarden" is very nice. If there is a funky sorghum background flavor it is difficult to pick it up. I find it's very refreshing, surprisingly light, and it's got all the herbal aromas and smells one would expect from the hop schedule. I'm really pleased with it. One test of a beer...

more good stuff kersh. strong. thanks. Still thinking carbbing w/honey is good; some enzymes, plus no boil & cool. But I may experience intermittent carbbing...will find out! Would enzymes multiply, like yeast? Probably not, as I think of them as proteins which don't work that way. So you'd be...

Speaking of R&D, I know we all like to pat ourselves on the back using white sugar for priming due to it's consistency, but I'm going to all honey. I have learned that honey has enzymes (so don't boil it) plus it's an entirely different form of sugar than fructose (not good sugar), so it will...
