Z-bob Glad you stopped by. Yes we have feed store like Agway just around the comer from me. The whole home brewing process fior me cones down to just a few things. 1) being cost. 2). Being I just want a dam good beer I can drink again ;) and 3) availability of ingredients. Just had a 6'er...

Z-bob, I live in NY and have not found a raw sorghum source so I am using Briess Sorghum syrup. Been looking for alternatives to reduce cost but aside from purchasing 55-275 gallon drums or totes this is what I'm stuck with for now. As for producing cyanide, and believe it's hydrogen cyanide...

JMath if you have a local home brew supply store near you they can get clarity Ferm from their wholesaler. Ask them to carry it for you and out it in the shelf away from direct sunlight. All wholesale distributors either carry it or can get it. Tell the LHBS how many per year you think you will...

Just had a gluten free sorghum based homebrew beer. Somewhere between 1 1/2 to 2 months post bottling and no residual "twang" taste what's so ever. Anyone else trying this yet? Would like to hear back from the community with there results. Thanks!

Craig, Beer looks great, color is amazing, thought it would be much darker using D90. Think I'm going to use it next run. Really glad to hear it worked out for you. Unfortunately I didn't get to brew last weekend or even this past weekend, forgot about birthday parties. Ugh anyway I had a few...

Started new thread on Clarity Ferm for reducing sorghum twang below. Got off topic and BrewGF made a good point. Please continue to post responses for "rice beer here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=630042

Believe I've found a way to effectively reduce or eliminate the twang found in sorghum based beers. I should have posted this in its own thread a long time ago so here is a link to the conversations that have already transpired. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=627515 Please...

Craig, You got me thinking, man that's a scary thing. Who know what I'll come up with when that happens. Anyways I'm getting my ingredients and gear together for another brew this weekend and the Safbrew T58 yeast your using made me think about flocculation and diacetyl production. I believe...

Craig, Definitely appreciate all your feed back especially on the sugars and the Clarity Ferm. As for the yeast you would probably know better than I as I've only been using one yeast strain to keep my results consultant. I've been using Danstar British Ale yeast as I know it's grown using...

Hey Brew, I'm glad to hear things worked out for you as good if not better than my results. Like I stated in some of my previous posts it comes down to one thing, science. Let's face it was are all mad little scientists who brew our own beer. I didn't stumble upon this by accident and believed...

Friggen awesome!!!! A beer that bring a tear is worth brewing. Post it up and I will give it a try if I have the equipment to do so. My last batch came out very good as well. Nice beer up front, not to thin with a slight lemon head candy finish. No tears but my best batch to date as well. Must...

Yes the beer clears exceptional well and fast. I am now 6 days post bottling and the beer is crystal clear, can easily read thru it. Using D-90 how is the color? Could you send me a pic? I was wondering if using darker color candy sugar adds different more caramel flavors well? I will be...

Sry for the above post, my app went all blinky. Please disregard.

As you can see a very slight haze but that will be gone after just one week. Will try another beer in a week snd report back. Now that I drank the beer it left a very present taste and the mouth feel is wonderful. The head and head retention will also improve over time. Nature had to take its...

Well tried the beer and it has a slight twang taste and the 2oz of centennial dry hops are very present so us the orange peel I added. However thus will fade considerably over the bottle aging process, this I know. The beer is very drinkable at thus point but I prefer it aged. One beer and I...

Did you also use a candy syrup? Like crystal or d-45? Remember to let it age fir 2 months. I bottled a batch on Saturday and watched the bottles almost completely clear in just 2 days. There is a little bit of sediment already. I put one in the fridge to try tonight so I should see if the...

My bad. But in that article it does mention "Mill your grains to release the starches within the grain. It is recommended that you do not mill your grains coarsely, but more finely as to release as much of the starch as possible. To release the starch from within MILLET and buckwheat malt a mill...

BrewGF, Thanks for the advise on the pound of hops. The only reason I wasn't purchasing by the pound was 1) wasn't sure what hops I liked and 2) how to pair them properly and 3) wasn't sure if I would prefer pellets of cones (leafs). To reduce hop material when transferring to the fermenter I...
