Looks like you may have replied to other post I posted by mistake? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/whats-rubbery-taste-53561/index2.html I've never encountered this but I can't remember the last time I've ever had a batch sitting on the yeast cake in primary for more than 4 weeks. Here's a...

Osedax, thanks for answering and confirming a few suspicions I had! I'll wind back my use of rice hulls for sure. One less thing to stock! Sparging: I think I will re-classify what I did. I think it was a quick rinse with a little too much water. ;) I called it a sparge but it was...

Autolysis? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/whats-rubbery-taste-53561/ http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter10-3.html http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2011/06/when-beer-goes-bad-autolysis.html Just a thought.

Update: Starch test appeared OK and the wort tasted sweet. I added 4oz of turbinado and my OG is 1.070. Oh boy this one's gonna be a little boozy! I got about .75 gals from the kettle and its in a sanitized distilled water jug pitched with s-05 at around 68F. Gonna cover it and hope for...

So all in all things went sorta OK and its been an exciting process. Here's what I did and I'll ask a question or two and hope to hear some helpful comments on my process. This was basically an attempt at this single infusion mash...

I've brewed batches when its in the 20's before. I kind of like it. The nice thing about cold is you can use nature to chill. Place your kettle in a snowbank (tightly covered of course) and let nature chill it. Actually, you don't even need a snowbank if you're willing to let it sit out...

If it is the dip tube getting clogged (because its sitting in hop trub and sucking it in and clogging it), BEND the dip tube gently and re-install it so that its up off the bottom of the keg. That extra inch off the bottom will help. Since you already popped the gas onto the liquid out and...

I have used this quite a bit, usually replacing half the sorghun bill with it http://www.lundberg.com/product/organic-sweet-dreams-brown-rice-syrup/ I get it from a local grocery store that has a very large health food aisle, or health food stores. I would seek out local sources as shipping...

Thanks! I will try and record as much details as I can as I go. Yes, I do have malted millet from Grouse: http://www.grouseco.com/products/ The majority of the recipe is Pale with some Vienna and Crystal added I believe. I'm not totally sure of the Lintner number for these malts but I do...

Its probably not very important in the scheme of things, I am just trying to be thorough I guess. I saw that Osedax here noticed that the millet absorption in his house IPA batch was slightly higher but he didn't remember the actual number. As for a test batch, that's a good idea! I...

I don't expect anyone will know this (its probably elusive like PPG for millet malts) but I'll ask nonetheless... does anyone know the grain absorption value appropriate for Grouse millet malts for this BIAB calculator...

Will do! I have 2lbs now, but may get 1 more lb for this batch (around 16lbs of millet malts).

Thanks a lot fellas. I'll keep these spaces in mind! Update on the original idea. I couldn't find anything used and I'm sick of waiting (so is the 20lbs of millet malt in my brewhaus) so I ordered a Cereal Killer mill. it seems to be a decent mill for a good price and I am pretty certain...

zefbrew, actually... I have been searching online for used grain mills. There are a couple of corona style mills in the $20-45 range. However, I'm not thrilled with the reports of dust everywhere and I'm thinking the roller style will be better. Haven't found one locally yet though. I'm...

I doubt it too. You would not be able to run barley thru a mill and then run gluten free malts without contaminating the latter with gluten and cleaning it for the oddball ;) gf customer doesn't seem practical. I'm resigned to purchasing a new mill for GF grains like millet. Still...

Grouse's dealer, glutenfreehomebrewing.com, is not doing milling at this time.

Got my grouse millet malt today from GFHB ! :ban:

thanks Chris. these are good posts to have handy. I've read osedax's house IPA post before but the details are making more of an impact now. Igs' post is great too! I bet he's dialed in that millet mash now, eh! His brewery is about 5 hours drive over on the "west side" and I do plan to...

That's exactly where I've been at... reading the step mash process and being nearly paralyzed at the prospect of it all. This single infusion method is something I can get my head around and possibly pull off. I have 10lbs of grouse pale and 5lbs of grouse crystal on the way . In retrospect...

Yeah... I'm wavering back and forth too on it. My last batch is keg (never racked to secondary) for about 7 days now and it may be clearing up a bit. Now if I can just leave it alone for 2 more I'll have some to drink when its clear (but its one of my best IPAs and its hard to not sip away at...
