This is truly awesome man, great job! Id love to come out and see it when you're done.

Overall I am not very happy with this beer, the first keg is gone, and I just tapped the second. Its a bit darker than expected, and a little fuller than I had wanted. I would not do a SMaSH with this malt again, but I do look forward to brewing with it. One thing that I DO want to try is a...

Yet another reason to shop at Midwest instead...

Brewday went very well. I hit my target gravity, +1, with a 1.067. I ended up with more like an 80 minute boil over 90, but my volume was right on. So, all told it will fit better into "English IPA" than it would have if everything would have been perfect. I will still end up with something...

I have been wanting to do a beer with this malt ever since we got it at Midwest, so after trying to find any info about this malt, other than from Briess, I decided to do a SMaSH and really get a feel for the malt, and to share my results. I will brew this tomorrow, and make an update then with...

I do a month, 28 days average, in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy.

+1 I make a english barley wine that is 100% marris otter and 8oz EKG first wort hops. OG 1.120, FG ~1.030. It's great.

We aren't going to make any GF kits, but, we would be happy to switch out any barley based kits with sorghum.

Thanks for the input guys, some really good advice. The goal here is to help people make good beer, GF or otherwise. And I work at Midwest, NB is for jerks.

I don't post a lot, so let my preface this with this. Thanks! Okay, here's the deal. I work at a homebrew shop, a big one. And lately I have been getting a lot of questions about GF brewing. The only thing I can do is shrug. I know we have sorghum LME, but I don't know how to suggest...

25 years old, been brewing a little over 2 years.

I brewed up 5 gallons on 10/12. 2312.45 + 5 = 2317.45

I am not trying to make a pot beer. That's a stupid idea. I just want a beer that is reminiscent, in the hop profile, of marijuana. So far my plan is a simple 2row + crystal malt bill for about 1.100 OG, and about 80IBUs of Columbus/Chinook, then some simcoe towards the end of the boil...

So Im making an IIPA soon, and my buddy asked me to make it smell like weed. Anyone know of any hops, or combos that smell like the good herb? Thanks

You get a bi-monthly mag subscription to Zymurgy, which is a GREAT homebrewing magazine. You also get a 5 gallon batch of 1087 wort, which depending on how you buy grains is worth the 33 bucks your going to spend on the membership. So yeah, well worth it!
