I have not used lactose in conjunction with maltodextrin, but if I did I would keep the maltodextrin at 8 ozs and go ahead with the lactose amount as planned (4 ozs). As far as adding brown rice syrup to cut down on the sorghum taste, I rarely do that any more. I typically use sorghum as the...

This recipe looks really good. My question is what type of Apricot extract did you use? I can get Brewer's Best Apricot Extract at my LHBS but I don't know if it is gluten free or not. I emailed LD Carlson but haven't heard anything back yet. I can get Oregon Apricot Puree, which is 100%...

I used DAP on my last batch. It was the first time I used it, and I threw it in @ 10 min. I have heard the same thing about its effect on sorghum as well. I will be tasting this batch in 2 days and will let you know if I can tell a difference.

I think dorklord got it exactly right about Bard's. I always get a slightly fruity finish with Redbridge. Both beers are great for being gluten free beers, but I think Bard's resembles a barley beer best.

That beer has a really nice color. Looks delicious!

I have added rice syrup for the full 60 min boil along with the sorghum extract. I usually add honey at flameout unless the recipe states otherwise.

+1 on what Lcasanova stated. I also filter my wort from the kettle to the carboy with a coarse grain bag before I pitch my yeast. After a few weeks, all of my GF beers are very, if not crystal, clear.

Dorklord- I brewed your recipe a few months back. I let it bottle condition for a little over 3 weeks. I tasted it tonight and it is excellent!!! The only susbtitution was that I used 12 oz. of honey for the boil instead of 12 oz. cane sugar. I used dextrose to bottle prime. The beer was...

I don't think it hurts. I don't use any yeast nutrient or make a yeast starter, and at $1.99 a package I feel it is cheap insurance for a good fermentation. As far as taste, I cannot tell a difference between a 1 or 2 package batch.

I have an all Cascade Pale Ale fermenting at the moment. I dry hopped with 1 oz. Cascade a week ago. The recipe was from the Breiss website and it is called "Hoppy to be Gluten-Free Pale Ale." Hoppy to be Gluten-Free Pale Ale Recipe for 5 US gallons (19L) Description: The higher BU’s...

Good luck! I am sure it will be tasty:mug:

This beer is awesome!!!!! I gave it two weeks to bottle condition, and it has carbed up nicely. This is the first GF beer that my wife has drunk in its entirety....and that says a lot! This beer is clear, crisp, and delcious. No sorghum twang, and the hops are mellow. This is the perfect...

I certainly will. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I wanted to try brewing a GF lager and your recipe looked liked something I would like.

On Wednesday night I am going to bottle a GF Pilsner (I used dkershner's recipe). This beer looks and smells awesome so far. Very excited to taste the finished product!

It has been almost 4 weeks in the bottle now so I decided to try one of the BMC clones I brewed. Carbonation was great, but not a lot of head retention. Not a real strong hop aroma at all, but I picked up a slight apple note. It is clean and crisp with NO sorghum "twang" at all. Clean...

Bottled the GF Budweiser clone today. Final gravity was 1.008 and it certainly looks like a BMC style beer. It spent 10 days in primary and 12 days in secondary. I am going to give it two weeks in the bottle before a taste test.

That is good to know. I did shake the carboy and I have some fairly active airlock activity which has been going on for several days. I decided to wait until this Friday or Saturday to bottle. I will post a gravity and my observations. Thanks for the help!

Thank you aggieotis! I will shake the carboy and give it until Saturday. I have only used Danstar yeast before and they fermented quickly and thoroughly. The Safale was different in that it fermented rapidly, but for only a few days. To be honest, I was surprised when I didn't see any...

patd- The dark ale is actually turning into a great beer the more time I give it in the bottle. From the start it was not as bitter as the Honey ale beer kit was (which also has turned out to be an excellent beer as time progresses.) My first two GF brews were kits and I feel that they...
