I've never even heard of it. Is it available for purchase? Did you read somewhere that it helps with head retention? There is head retention powder, it consists primarily of guar gum. I think Northern Brewer sells it.

I have a recommendation: don't buy Tweason ale! Blech! I bought a 4 pack of that this past weekend--I'd never had it before but heard good things. EIther my batch was skunked or that stuff is just plain bad.

I would agree with the article if it said "broaden your expectations" for gluten free beer. It is irrational to eat or drink something made from one ingredient and expect it to taste exactly like something made from a different ingredient. GF grains are different than barley or wheat or rye...

Hmm...bit scary there, you nailed all 3 new variables in this brew. I had planned on doing my Transfiguration IPA this Sunday but was so down about my last batch that I never toasted any grains (I have 7lbs of Buckwheat, 1lb of Amaranth, 1lb of oats, 1lb of millet just waiting to be used) but I...

My last 3 brews have been disappointing. I think I engaged in too much experimentation. WHatever the case, I really hate spending all of that time brewing and then having a finished product that is....meh. I have read about 15 minute IPAs and decided I would try one. But rather then just brew it...

This thread has appeared before on this forum. I don't remember what suggestions were provided but I know some were. What about cider?

Wait...are you saying there is something harmful in our beer? No way! Aren't we already engaged in something that is harmful to our bodies? You know, alcohol. Alcohol is a toxin, it kills microorganisms and if you drink too much of it in one sitting you can die from alcohol poisoning.

If this is illegal I'm out --but enjoy! :mug:

You can use other products. Check out some of the recipes listed on here for examples of non-sorghum beers.

Did you crush the sprouted quinoa?

Yu are roasting the chestnuts yourself? Are they chestnut chips or whole chestnuts? DId you make the chestnut chips yourself and if so, how?

This is why we need a a GF recipe database. No-nonsense stout, dual spires black lodge ale or lcasanova's brown ale are all popular. You can also check out FB which has a gluten free homebrew page with a ton of recipes.

I've done 2lbs in several 5 gallon recipes and it was more than enough. I'd use 8oz dark brown sugar and 8oz molasses

You are going to use 4lbs of D-180? I realize this is for 6 gallons but that is a lot of candi syrup. If I were you I'd scale it down. Also consider mixing up the candi syrup--180 and 90 for some complexity of flavors.

Those are great questions. I hope someone who understands them can answer them for you :) Just to be clear...I don't own a hydrometer :)

If this turns out to be possible, count me in.

I have always added candi syrup at the start of the boil, however FWIW candi syrup inc. recommends adding the syrup at flameout.

If your local supplier isn't very reliable you can always go online. I buy most of my ingredients for homebrew from Amazon. I also used Northern Brewer once.

eh...I forgot ice once and it sat out for a long time. The beer was awesome.

Hmm...I've never entered it or thought of it until now... As for you I'd recommend the Grapefruit IPA. I saw my brother-in-law the other day and he brought it up and wondered if I had any left. It was wildly popular. BTW--your Black IPA recipe looks awesome!
