This is great to hear. How did you brew before committing to a system this expensive?

I'm considering buying a Spike Trio. There seems to be overwhelming support for the system based on this thread but is there any real issues or regrets that any current owner can share?

what system are you considering?

I brew with the M&B and mine has the pump. Its not the best pump but it does a great job recirculating. At times it can clog but after you use the unit for awhile its easy to unclog.

will do! i try to do grain to glass threads.

Last Saturday I got around to brewing the double chocolate oatmeal stout. Very fun first experience with roasting oats, brown rice syrup and sorghum. Tasting the raw rice syrup was like super sweet, maple syrup like almost. Sorghum did have a nice sweetness but I noticed the twang everyone...

others have said high citrus hops are good to cut through the twang. im brewing my first beer that includes Sorghum and will let you know how chinook and fuggles work with it.

Hello everyone. For my next beer I am going to brew a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Here is where I got the base recipe from - Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout - Partial mash - Gluten Free Homebrewin. I am going to make the following changes: Remove: wild rice, molasses, candy sugar & maltodextrin...

Yes, this is my plan for the mash, thanks again for the guidance!!

Termamyl and Sebamyl are my enzymes. Next batch ill grab ceremix and ondea. I was going to mash for 1 hour, add the extracts and boil per normal. Any things I should be aware of?

I am going to do a proper enzyme mash with the grains and then will add the sorghum post mash. I also decided not to go with the above recipe but instead went with a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout for my next brew.

@glutarded-chris @skleice thank you both for the inputs. I've never brewed with extracts and wanted to give it a try. After reviewing more recipes, I think I may just use up some of my leftover grains from the brown ale. What do you both think of this recipe? 6lbs sorghum 2lbs crystal rice...

Hey everyone. I want to brew a beer with sorghum extract and think the porter recipe below could be the way I go. However, I hate adding sugars to my beer so is there any way I can omit the molasses and belgian candi sugar? I brew with a mash and boil and it can tolerate 16lbs grain bills. I...

Thanks Chris!

Cracked open the first two bottles and I’m very pleased with this batch.

Does anyone harvest and reuse yeast? The process looks straightforward except for one part. The Dry Malt Extract addition always seems glutenous and I havent found anything to suggest a GF DME exists. Does anyone use yeast starters? if so, what DME do you go with?

Liked this one so much I decided to do it again. This time I properly used the Termamyl & SEBAmyl L enzymes properly. Some miscellaneous photos of brew day. Work but fun at the same time. Cheers!

thanks for this suggestion! i presume you bake the grain dough mixture right? if so for how long?

Hi everyone, What do you do with your grains after the mash? Can they be used for anything? Or should I just dry it out and hope the birds eat it?! Cheers!
