In your Hazelnut beer--what did you do? How much hazelnuts did you use, and how did you use them in the beer?

No--but I use well water. Not sure what impact that might have but perhaps that can influence the taste.

This is a great IPA! It took a long time for the Columbus hops to mellow and for everything to come into its own but I am very pleased with this beer. 2 changes I would make: 8oz of maltodextrine 8oz of lactose instead of 1lb of lactose like I used. The lactose isn't bad, it adds residual...

This is coming along quite nicely. I cracked open the first couple of bottles on St. Patrick's Day--very pleased! This will be a good beer. Next time I think I'd up the sorghum by 1lb and lower the corn syrup by 1lb but that is the only change I'd make.

I think your "twang" is primarily coming from the choice of hops. Sorghum adds a "twang" though I've never actually tasted it. I second Igliashon, it will mellow with time.

I never, ever use more than 3lbs of sorghum. If you brew this again I'd up the amount of brown rice and maybe throw in a pound of honey. When I use irish moss, or other such things, my sorghum beers are clear, when I don't, they are cloudy but get better with time. But you can't taste the...

You used 1/2 lb of hops for a 5 gallon batch? Or do you mean 1/2 oz of hops?

yeah basically that it is 100% juice. A while back someone posted a thing about a cider that had barley malt in the ingredients.... It is crazy the things they will put in well, anything. But yes, just make sure there is no wheat, rye or barley in the juice.

yes, I've made that cider before. It is excellent. I'm not familiar with Wegman's, but just check the apple juice and concentrate before using it. Should be okay though.

Well, I ended up brewing this since I had the ingredients already purchased with one minor addition. I used Simplicity Clear Syrup instead of D-45. This turned out to be a winner! (phew). On an unrelated note I have now brewed with all 5 candi syrups. I'd have to say that only the ones with...

Always dry-hop in the secondary.

I made a 3 gallon batch of cider and dry hopped it with .5oz of cascade. It was awesome. There is another thread on the cider forum somewhere which is where I got the recipe. I've also dry-hopped with centennial...I don't recommend that. When I do it again--and I will--I'll be using cascade...

I have dry-hopped a cider with cascade and it was great. Did you ever do this and how did it turn out?

The only thing I'd recommend is adding 8 oz of maltodextrine for body. Oats help, but on their own I have found the beer still lacks some body and will come out a bit thin.

This turned out great. I'm only posting recipes in this recipe section that were actually a success (by consensus too). You can pour in the extracts later and even at flame-out. Definitely recommended to do that with honey and or candi syrup. Some people recommend dividing the sorghum between...

The more I read it the more I'm liking this recipe. I wonder if I could modify it to a "newborn" friendly IPA and make it in 30 or 15 minutes? Double the hops at the 30 or 15 minute. What do you think?

$30 dollars seems like a small amount of money to pay to not risk making your wife sick. I'd go for a new set if I were you.

Of all my GF beers, this one was the most popular with my non-gluten free friends. 5 Gallon Batch 1/2lb of Amaranth soaked and then boiled for 30 minutes 1lb of dark toasted millet both steeped in water at 145 for 45 minutes, strained out, sparged and then bring to boil. At 60 minute mark...

That's not cider. I don't know what it is--but cider by definition is fruit juice and doesn't have grains in it. It sounds like a fake braggot. Also, if it says it contains gluten it does contain gluten and you cannot remove gluten during the brewing process. If we could--this forum would be...
