JMath, yes I do recirculate for that rest. Once the strike water hits 104°, I mash in and turn on the pump. How the wort recirculates at this point is also a good indicator for the rest of the mash cycle. This rest is actually suggested by Grainfather for hi-adjunct grain bills, so i've always...

skleice, for dropping down to the sacc rest from gelatinization i drop some zip-locks full of ice into the recirculating wort. You might have to swap new ones in and out a few times, but generally i get to the mid to low 150s in about 10-15 minutes. For whirpooling hops, I attach the...

skleice, i've never had a problem with a stuck sparge. My main concern has always been a stuck or slow recirculation, since that reduces efficiency. And as long as that's good, sparging is also not an issue. RIMS with gluten free grains in the Grainfather can be tricky - here's what I think...

Anyone happen to know the PPG of the unmalted or flaked quinoa?

So here’s my two cents ... I’ve been brewing on the grainfather system, which as someone mentioned seems very similar to the clawhammer, for almost a year now and love it. It produces consistent results, wort with very little trub, fantastic efficiency (85-90%) and a stress free (tho long) brew...

+1 on what Legume says above. :) An alternative to AMG 300 that i use is Diatase Enzyme from EC Kraus. It has both Alpha and Beta Amylase and I find it works well without being too aggressive. So Ill gelatinize with Termamyl and drop down to normal mash temps as above, then add the Diatase...

Not necessarily for nitro beers, but for all GF beers in general I add 10% buckwheat malt to the grain bill for added head retention and body. Unmalted buckwheat, maltodextrine, and quinoa are also used.

Mergs, I've been using hop socks for dryhopping (http://www.homebrewing.org/Small-Muslin-Bag_p_1248.html). I boil them for 10 minutes to sanitize and keep it to about one ounce of pellets per bag. I was having the same racking and loss issues as you and these make a huge difference.

NEIPA (Julius Clone) recipe update It's four weeks after bottling and I am really happy with the results. I've been drinking it for two weeks and it is still holding up very well. Great hop aroma, some alcohol heat fading to citrus and grapefruit notes, mild bitterness, medium body, just enough...

brewGF, glad to hear it came out well. In my opinion, cascade hops go really well with sorghum extract beers as they seem to do a good job masking the dreaded twang, and complimenting the 'maltiness'. But i wouldn't discount the clarity ferm either. I read that post too and its an interesting...

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you.

One of the first and best Sorghum beers I ever brewed was with T-58. Here's a link to the recipe: http://www.glutenfreehomebrewing.org/recipes/showrecipe.php?recipeid=121 I skipped the lemon peel and used whole cascade hops. There was some subtle spiciness from the T58 that went really well...

I finally got around to brewing this Saturday and the day went pretty well, if a bit long due to the additional time to whirlpool the hops at the end of the boil. As if our brew days aren't already long enough ... :) OG came in a bit higher than expected at 1067, but i don't think this will...

Chris, thanks for the feed back! I've been going with pale rice malt as my base because I was worried about re-circulation issues (I brew with a Grainfather) I might have with a grain bill of mostly millet malts. I have been using the roasted rice malts from Eckert and am really happy...

Ok, Here's my crack at a recipe. As I said before its based on the OCT 2016 BYO article on New England style IPAs. This is a gluten free adaption of Tree House Brewing Co's Julius Clone. Hoping to brew this for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks. Comments and criticisms welcome! Title: NEIPA...

I have not brewed this yet. Hoping to do so the beginning of May. I'll update with a full recipe and progress.

Looks like we all had the same idea :) ... I'm building a recipe right now based on the Julius Clone in the 10/16 issue of BYO and hoping to brew in the next month or so. Here is a (very) preliminary grain bill and hop schedule. NEIPA (Julius Clone) - Gluten Free 5.75 lb - Pale Rice malt...

+1 for Brewers Friend. Beyond what they have in the database you can also add custom fermentables.

If you can see the jacket and its yellow, it will be 12 wire. However if its white that doesn't necessarily mean its not. Like brew38 said, an electrician will be able to tell right away.

Great resource with recipes, how-to and GF malts from Grouse Malting & Roasting Co and Eckert Malting & Brewing Co http://www.glutenfreehomebrewing.org/
