Okay, so I actually started this brew on Sunday. Mash went well giving me 21L at 1.030. I don't have a proper brew kettle to do a full boil; instead I plan a partial boil (7L) for all hop / misc additions. Instead of adding water to top up to final fermenting volume, lately I have been playing...

Looks like they are distributing to Maine, Mass. and Vermont right now, addresses are on the website. http://glutenberg.ca/usa/locations/

Seems its banned as a topical ointment. Didn't say anything about pill form. You could try crushing the pills. I may even try juicing a couple papyas and adding the juice at the beginning of the mash. Anyone notice the concentrations in the fruit?

No prob, just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't be disappointed.

Hey Tractor, sounds like a happy mistake. If you're trying to add body, dont use dextrose, use malto dextrin. Dextrose will thin the body out, its highly fermentable.

EvanLouis, I speak some, what do you need?

Thunder Chicken, Please note that Sorghum Molasses and the Sorghum Syrup reference in this forum are different. Molasses is made from "juicing" the stalk and boiling it down. The Syrup is made from the grain using a "malting" process and is chemically the closest replacement for standard...

danz, I think I got very little conversion on the rice. I should have boiled the ever living hell out of it to gelatinize but instead I just crushed it and threw it in. It provides great flavour and colour though.

I know it's a little crazy but here is how I went about it and I started in about September last year: Started by reading John Palmer's book How to Brew. He has the first edition available for free on his website. My goal here was to understand the process and chemistry behind brewing...

danz, I've read a few things where the protien from the Banana help both with head retention, mouth feel and yeast nutrient. My Ginger beer seems to prove it out since it was mostly highly fermentable sugars but still has decent mouth feel & head retention. The banana doesn't come through...

If you boil the sweet potato you'll kill the natural enzymes. I'd suggest that you juice the sweet potato and the boil/cook the pulp for 30minutes. This will gelatinize the pulp (break down the starch/cell walls/etc) then cool to about 153F(60C) and add the juice back and maybe some artificial...

Quick question: What are you planning witht he sweet potatoes? Are you going to use them as an enzyme source or are they the sugar source? Personally I have a Cream Ale on the docket comprised of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Flaked Rice, Flaked Corn and Rice Syrup with enzyme added to get...

There is actually an awesome sake thread in the wine forum. One for Chinese rice wine too.

Here is the Beerzym Multi Technical Product Sheet. I skimmed through it quick and the enzyme contains Alpha Amylase, Beta Glucanase and various Beta Amylases. I'm starting to reconsider the peanut butter ale. Peanut butter isn't really very common over here and I finally took the time to...

I'll add the tech sheet tomorrow.

That link is to the Beerzym Alpha, multi has Alpha and Beta

Tommyguner03, Did you get a diagnosis? Sounds like Dermatitis Herpetaformis, which is what I have. When I consume gluten I get blisters filled with a clear fluid on my feet, hands, lower back, knees, elbows and face. Before the blisters break, I almost want to use sandpaper on my skin...
