So I'm not the only whacko that huffs the airlock? That's a relief.

Gluten free almost pale ale. The danger is over now. I was actually able to keep an eye on it and switch airlock when the other was pushed out. I do need to get a blowoff tube though for the future

Does anyone make them? Do you use sorghum extract? BRS with a yeast nutrient? Haven't made any yet, but I was thinking about it for the next batch, just to have something to play around with

I too and watching my first fermentation. I keep walking into the closet every chance I get. It put me to sleep last night with the gurgles and bubbles.

So, the first picture is right after the chill and pitch. The next us about four to five hours after, and the few after that a span of fifteen to twenty minutes. The last was taken around eight this morning. I couldn't get over the color change. There is something of awe watching the little...

She's a celiac too, but we are pretty good about cleaning everything. I used all the same line and fermenters for the gf hefe I made and everything was fine. That is the plan for the future though. Separate line and fermenters and other equip, but for now it is heavy washing and rinsing and...

So I Have a pale ale in primary( bucket type) and I am brewing again this weekend. A gluten free pale ale for SWMBO. Should I rack the week old batch to my Carboy and ferment the new batch in the bucket type or just ferment the gfpa in the better bottle. Keep inning there is almost no krausen on...

In ashville NC there are like twelve or so microbreweries I believe. If you're coming to Myrtle beach, we have a new south brewery with some great brews. I think their tours are tues and thurs but they may have switched them.

The brew scene isn't big here the only LHBS is over three hours away. Midwest is sending a replacement but I also have some honey that is just sitting around. It was Nottingham dry yeast. I hate to throw it out if there could be at the very least a fun experimental use for it.

So my package arrived from Midwest and my wife was being being awesome opening my package (giggity) to pull out the couple of yeast packs I had in there and store the in the fridge. The only pack of dry yeast managed to stick itself to a small amount of tape and was cut when she was opened it...

Simple Celiac Almost Pale Ale 6# sorghum extract 1#8oz wildflower honey Cascade 1oz @60m Nottingham dry yeast Yields 5.5 gallon batch It's around 17 IBUs The hefe that preceded this batch was 15ish so as per DKs recommendations to et the wife into hoppier beers I am going to ramp it up slowly...

Hopville seems to have a few items

I saw when I was ordering for my next couple batches. Both combined were about five dollars more than this kit, and will probably taste better. (at least from the comparisons I've been hearing)

Doodlebug, I know what you mean in attenuation. Mine did the same thing. It tasted great, and even better after it sat in the bottle for an extra week after carbing. There was a slightly warm feeling from the alcohol, but it wasn't that big a deal. My wife was excited to have a good beer to...

A half ounce of horizon at 60 an then a half ounce of cascade at twenty minutes should put me mid twentyish IBU. I'll have to check my notes on the orange hefe to see what that was. My wife really likes that one. Though the age is starting to show through. The sorghum tang came back. I digress...

I have 10# of dextrose in my pantry, I will definitely think on that before ordering and play with the recipe some. What do you suppose the mouthfeel on this would be, dextrose vs rice syrup?

Oats are actually out of the question. My wife can't eat them without experiencing symptoms similar to when she consumes gluten. Yes, even the gf stuff from Bobs Red Mill. I could probably toast the quinoa an then steep it. Does that provide flavor or any sugars, or just color? I've seen quite...

Ok, so I wanted to throw my wife into the world of hoppy beers:rockin: I figured I would ease her into it with a GF Pale ale. I welcome any critiques or changes. I am also hoping to do this for the least amount of $ as I am going to try and brew this every month and have it as a house brew and...

The results. The wife loves it. The first couple she had the sorghum was really up front, and she made a disgusted face. A day or two later she had another and that smile that crept across her lips was was of approval and then she spoke: "what else can you make that is GF?" I am thinking a...

Cass, mine are in my walk in closet it stays from 67-70 year round. At least it's only around my clothes. Hopefully when we build our house she'll let me insulate and condition the garage and I can brew and store out there. Unless I open a gluten free brewpub I'm limited for the time being
