    Making a GF IPA today

    Looks good! Haven't heard of Azecca before, had to look it up. Should be a delicious citrus/pineapple bomb. I'm interested in incorporating buckwheat into my brews. Can you detail how you mash it? Mashing with the millet, etc or separate. BIAB or trad? Did you purchase Conan from...

    Oven roasting

    Off topic... Hey Legume, what is your source for non-malted base grains (millet, I assume)? My batches typically call for 12 lbs of Pale Millet Malt and I feel like I'm peeing away money here (hey, technically I am!) ;)

    First AG GF Brewday Reviewed

    1) Millet does seem to absorb more, now that you mention it. My guess is that it mills differently than barley: I do a triple run on my mill so my millet gets down to a mixture of intact kernels but probably 75% flour (I'd like it to be more flour like but my "cereal killer" mill doesn't go do...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    I can confirm good results with single infusion mashes and grouse malts. I am using Termamyl (liquid amylase) and mashing for 90 mins at 158F, BIAB style in a 10 gal igloo. I did a brown ale last night that will be more a Cascadian brown but that's more due to another screw up (I left hops in...

    Brewing With Molasses

    This is a great read! Not only is the "olde tyme" language usage a good laugh but the recipes are jaw dropping. Take for example this: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3AOld-Time_Recipes_for_Home_Made_Wines_Cordials_and_Liqueurs.djvu/41 I cannot believe someone actually made beer from a...

    Grouse's Banjo Brown single infusion

    I've been doing GF IPAs and some fruit beer experiments and recently had a successful GFAG Grapefruit IPA that's going fast. I could take the easy route and do the same batch, after all its delicious and its like I said, going fast. :mug: But I've lately been hankerin' for some darker...

    All in - low sparge - Infusion Mash

    Hipturn, recipe looks good. Any dry hops later once this baby goes crazy* fermenting for a week? :) *2 packets of S-05 will do that you know (I almost blew the airlock off mine, so go for a blow-off valve from the start. Since you intend to use the amylase (which I do and I don't feel one...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    Jim, Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain the business side of malting GF grains. I may be speaking for many here in that to me it was never a personal matter about the malt costs but one simply of that the cost was high and growing higher as we ramped up our use and got excited by...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    I've been personally put off a little bit by the prices but the good news is I just ordered and received grouse pale malt and some medium roast and I'm going to try a single infusion version of a grouse brown ale recipe. I'm not giving up homebrewing gf but I don't know if I'll keep 3 corny...

    First GF AG test batch

    JMath, no problemo, I like the discussion here. Yep, same debate I've been having about secondary. Believe me, the sediment issue drives a lot of the experimentation. i was doing secondary for a while then backed away from it, then went to a cold crash recently. I have to say doing a...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    I know you're directing at Igs but I thought I'd reply as well. I used Brewcraft Termamyl Endo-Alpha Amylase. The label says "Use at 152F-pH 6.5" If you're using the same stuff, put your readers on because the text is tiny... I had to re-read 2x myself under bright light. Old eyes :( Its...

    First GF AG test batch

    Sure. I feel to answer I need to back up and veer off slightly topic: I have been internally debating (in my own mind) the usefulness of racking at all to secondary and due to my lazy nature have been leaning towards no secondary at all. Its been a publicly debated topic as well and many people...

    Single Infusion Mash for Millet? Too good to be true?

    Same issues here, only not quite as bad since I'm in eastern WA and they ship from sou-central OR. They call this Zone 2 when I add items into the cart and calculate shipping. I just did some fooling around on their website: As we know, base cost of 5lb of grouse Pale is $13.99...
