I bought the aquarium aeration system with stone to aerate the cooled wort. I have left it plugged in for about 10 minutes and got a lot of foam. The instructions said to leave it plugged in for 30 minutes. How long is enough time? What should I do with all of the foam as it was at the top...

I made the Brewers Best Gluten Free Ale. It tastes good, but with low carbination. I used the 5oz sugar packet. 10 days primary, 2 weeks secondary. Any suggestions?

The 1st Gluten Free I made had way to many hops for him. I liked it, but he did not, that is why I'm going to this beer 1st. I will probably transfer to the secondary after 10 days for another 7 days to help clear it up. Secondary has a very hoppy Kolsch in it now, but I will bottle it this...

Thats what it called for on the yeast nutrient bag. If I ever make this again I will follow the recipe and maybe get an ale yeast for it. Looking to make a mild tasting gluten free beer for my brother-in-law. Looking for a recipe that would taste like Redbridge (his favorite). I'm not gluten...

I made the Honey of a Gluten Free Lager recipe from Brewing with Briess web site. I got the ingredients from Northern Brewer. Their White Sorghum syrup comes in a 6lb bottle. I added the whole 6 lbs instead of the requested 3.75lbs. I also added 4oz of maltobedextrin (40min) and 5tsp of...

I made this recipe for my brother-in-law. He thought is was to hoppy, but I liked it. I used Sorghum syrup, I added 1lb of Sucanat sugar full boil, and 3 1/2oz of Cascade hops (1oz bittering full boil, 1/2oz flavoring add at 40 min, 1oz aroma end of boil 45 min, and 1oz dry hop in secondary. I...

I drank a bottle of Fox Tail (commercial, Joseph James brewing) gluten free beer last night and it was very good. On their web site it is not brewed with sorghum, but rice. Does anyone have a recipe for a beer like this?

Sorry about all the confusion. I don't have a big enough pot to boil 5 gallons of water. I should have said I boiled 2 1/2 gallons for an hour, then added water to the fermenter to bring it to 5 gallons. The temp was around 70 degrees F. This is the same as I have used numerus times with...

I made a Gluten Free Pale Ale last night. It has 6lb sorghum syrup, 1lb Sucanat sugar full boil (2 1/2 gallon water). Then 2 1/2oz of cascade pellet hops spaced out in the boil. I also added 1/2tsp irish moss in the last 10 min. The starting gravity was 1.040, supposed to be 1.050, is that...

How long does it usually take for Sorghum beer to age past the 2 week conditioning? Going to make a Sorghum, cascade hop beer this weekend and was trying to time it right to deliver it to my brother-in-law ready to drink. I know some beers get better with age. I usually can't wait to taste...

How much cane sugar (lbs) would I add along with the molasses? Could I use Sucanat sugar? I think I will try your idea after reading a few posts. Would like to brew in the next few days. I have the fermenter empty. Just bottled a Honey Wheat for myself (not gluten free).

Not sure what you mean by non fermentables. I'm using a 6 lb bottle of Sorghum syrup from Northern Brewer. What would I do to add the white cane sugar and how much and when? Will this make the beer taste better? Also when would I add the molasses?

Getting ready to make the Gluten Free Pale Ale from Homebrewing.org. It uses Sorghum syrup and 3 1/2oz of Cascade hops (1oz bittering full boil, 1/2oz flavoring add at 40 min, 1oz aroma end of boil 45 min, and 1oz dry hop in secondary. I will use Danstar Nottingham Ale dry yeast and priming...
