Well, I just wrapped up my brew day. I used 2 Tbl of SEBAmyl-BAL 100 for gelatinization rest at 160 F. To stay on the safe side I went all 120 minutes. I then added 2 Tbl of the SEBamyl-L at 145 F. This step is also recommended for 90-120 minutes, but I had a good gravity reading at 30...

If any of you are mashing in a cooler with false bottom, how are you effectively reducing the temperature between steps? Immersion chiller?

The recipe I'm using is the American Amber Ale kit from GFHB. It's basically 11 lbs rice malt and 6 lbs millet malt.

Yeah, that’s a huge spread for enzyme amounts. Based on the enzyme thread I think I’ll start around 2 tbl. Did you decide how long you’re going to do the first rest? I would love to bring that 90-120 down to 15min like Chris does, but I’m worried the difference between Termamyl and SEBAmyl-BAL...

Thanks Chris. I’d skimmed through that thread before but didn’t pick up on the rest times for each step. I picked up the SEBAmyl-bal 100 instead of the Termamyl, which might have been a mistake for step mashing as it seems less thermoastable. I have SEBamyl L instead of Diatase for conversion...

So I'm finally jumping into all-grain. I have the enzymes and I know GFHB recommends a 2 step mash to achieve higher conversion. 90-120 minutes TWICE sounds like a long time. Has anyone tried both methods and have any conversion numbers? Which method do you use and why?

That’s weird, I’ve brewed this same recipe (igliashons grapefruit ipa) a few times and never had any globs like this form at all. Looks like you’ve brewed through it though huh? How did it turn out? This is one of my favorite gluten free extract beers to make, even non-GF friends love it.

Haha wow, I took a look at the thread and you're right. It doesn't look as intense as any of those posts and I somehow feel a bit safer now. Cheers

Thanks for the info. I just purchased the Refractometer recently and was unaware of the problems once alcohol is introduced. I'll take your advice and let it do it's thing for a while and then get a reading with my hydrometer.

So, I pitched another packet of S-04 on Friday before leaving town. Came back Sunday night to the airlock goin off. Took a quick refractor reading and we're now down to 1.042 so the yeast is workin away. However, I'm still concerned about the "blobs". I've added new photos of what the beer...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, something strange going on. So here's the update. Yesterday I dumped another pack of S-04. Figured screw it let's see what happens. Woke up this morning to my airlock glugging away. I'm going to keep it air tight and monitor the bubbler. Will update once...

Thanks, I'll give this a shot!

Hey guys, I'm new here, and loving this GF brew community. I found Igliashon's No Nonsense Stout recipe here and it's currently on the 7th day of primary. I just checked and noticed floating blobs in the beer, take a look at the pictures and please let me know if you know what this is. I...
