well the time has come, roasted the crushed rice and quinona to toasty brown color. heated pot of water, added rice hulls to flaked rice and corn and oats and made poorage. let stew then cooled to mash temp and added my enzymes. now the wait to see if it works. wish me luck.

gunner man and i think alike, Arcadia beer labels are so generic looking it made me think their beer was also. boy was I wrong, they have great beer and now I dont pay attention to the labels.

well got my diatase ordered today, bought some molasses and ready to plan my brew. hopefully it turns out better than my first attempt.

so i went to northern brewer and more beer and was unable to locate any of this amylase enzyme. is it under a different name, or just not locating it. Where could I get some or should i just start spitting in a cup and pour my spittoon in my mash tun.

So i am now really confused. do i mash my flaked grains in more and hotter water than i would for regular beer grains or just put them i a pot and boil them like oatmeal. then once i get my soup (or wort) then add amalaze enzyme to that. which should give my some abv from my flaked grains...

to start, my first batch of gluten free was a bust. no enzymes to convert my unmalted grains. that beinging said I am trying again. I want to use some flaked maize and flaked rice in my brew along with some rice solids, corn sugar and maltdextrine. i am trying to keep away from the bitter...

get a piece of soft wood , say pine, about 3/4 thick, 5 inches long, 2 inches wide. screw two pan head screws about 1/2 inch apart and 1 inch from the end leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out. we use these for collecting beer caps in our local chapter of the BCCA Beer Can Collectors...

I am in the process of inventing a high gravity barleywine recipe and was wondering about yeast. From the recipe i found they used 3 packs of safale s-04 just rehydrate and tossed in the bucket. Does this sound right? It is just skipping the starter stage by adding the 3 packs, right? will...

that is what happened i tried a 3 gallon batch with a 4 gallon pot and it was small, i changed it to a 8 gallon pot with 10 galon igloo cooler and it right on. thanks

when entering a recipe in beer smith for a barley wine, I have gotten a original gravity of 1.13 for a 3 gallon batch. When adding my hops, i used 3oz of Columbus for 60 minutes and 3 oz cascade for 15 minutes but the ibus only get to around 8. i understand high gravity beer diminishes the...

Just uncorked an Imperial IPA which was one of my first batches i ever made. it was bottled last november 2010 and it was very smooth and still had a great hop flavor. glad I saved some.

my final gravity was about the same 1.015 range and this turned out super, glad i made it.

someone else told me that as well after the fact. I guess i should have chewed it up and spit it out like the Dogfish Head did in there blue corn beer, Ha ha.

3 gallons gluten free cherry something + 5 gallons IPA Hop Bomb with the 33,365 already brewed is a total of 33,373.

made an attempt at all grain gluten free brewing. 1# Quninoa 1# kasha 2# GF roled oats 1# minute rice 1# rice hulls Mashed with 10 qts h2o at 155 for 45 minutes FG of this mess 1.010 the wort looked awesome just not sugar conversion. What might I have done so wrong? To salvage this...
