Thanks! My main issue is with the rising. I'm used to a damper climate so things will rise fast and easy. Here I really have to pull out some tricks to get things to rise half so well!

I grew up in Scotland and moved to Idaho to live with my wife who is from Boise. I love it here but its definitely very different from back home. The elevation here is a lot higher than Scotland but I can't see, from any of the charts I'm looking at, that it'll be enough to make a big...

So I brewed for a few years back in Scotland and then stopped when I moved back in with my Dad for a while. (He's a recovering alcoholic and it felt more than a little cruel to brew in his damn house.) At any rate, I moved to Boise, Idaho and am about to get back into brewing. Now, I'll...

I'm glad I got an invite. They really seem to be a great bunch of people and it'll be good for me to spend a few months learning from smart guys before I get back into brewing.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! This seems to be a really great place so far. I actually know one of the SNB members and I've been invited to a wee gathering at the end of the month, so maybe I'll see you there!

Thanks. The idea I've been experimenting with is to mix quinoa and teff/millet with cocoa extract. I've used cocoa before in GF brewing to get a good, dark, nutty ale and thought it might be worth a shot. I really want to avoid ending up with something wine-y.

So, I have a friend who misses beer a great deal, but she has some pretty serious allergy issues that go way beyond my mile Coeliac disease. The only grains she can have are Rice, Teff and Quinoa. Now, I've looked through the entire gluten free section here and sen some really wonderful...

Well, I'm Arlen and I'm a 28 year old Scot living in Boise, Idaho. I'm hoping to get back into brewing in a few months when my work permit finally clears and thought I'd get a jump start/refresher. I have done various simple ales and some fast brews in the past, but it's been some years so...
