Here's a pic, after drinking half, of my beer using t58 yeast and sorghum and D90 Candi syrup. There is very little sorghum twang and if there is a little bit it is not offensive at all and fits in with the Style Beer. I will definitely be using Clarity ferm in my next batch also and probably...

Labatt, I think your discovery of using clarity ferm with sorghum deserves its own fresh thread. I am sure it could help a lot of others here. There are so many intelligent, creative people here that could help you as well. They could either substantiate your findings with their own...

OK Labatt, I was a little skeptical but you may have cracked the code on the sorghum twang. I bottled my batch which used 6.6 lbs of Sorghum and a vile of clarity ferm. The results thus far? No discernible unpleasant bitter finish as was present in all my other batches. Amazing. The only...

This beer has been bottled for only 5 days but it is the best batch I have brewed so far (out of 4 previous batches). My recipe was almost the same as the one you posted but I used D-90 candi syrup where yours called for candi and I also used cascade hops almost exactly where that recipe uses...

I took a gravity reading today on my belgian with the T58 yeast. I havent had a belgian since my celiac was diagnosed, so when I took a whiff and smelled this wonderful belgian beer I was stoked. When i tasted it, it almost brought a tear to my eye. Its not done, but very promising and I...

Thats pretty clear after only a couple days ! In my limited experience, it takes 3 to 4 weeks for a good head and head retention when using sorghum syrup. However, that has never stopped me from drinking much earlier. My dark stout has lost the sorghum bitterness, unfortunately it has also...

I did use D-90 candi syrup, and T-58 yeast on this one. I had planned lto add a touch of coriander but i forgot.

Labatt, I brewed up a batch this past weekend using clarity ferm and 6 lbs of sorghum syrup. Ill let you know the results when i know.

Great! that's encouraging.pretty darn close to my recipe. I brewed it yesterday and this morning it looks like there is a cyclone inside my carboy. I haven't seen anything like that before. I will post results here in several weeks.

I am planning on brewing a Belgian Dubbel this weekend. I have read about some poor outcomes with T-58 and Sorghum syrup on this forum. Should I abandon that plan and brew a more tried and true recipe? I would love to hear from anyone that had nice results, or poor results for that matter...

I believe it costs me less than $43 to brew a beer like that. You can purchase hops by the pound for fraction of the price per ounce than those 1oz packs. $11 here: http://www.ritebrew.com/product-p/824208.htm This place also has the sorghum under $11, shipping is reasonable, no tax...

I will commit to using clarity ferm in my next sorghum batch (to be brewed soon) and reporting back with the results. A week and a half ago I bottled Igliashon Jones' oatmeal stout: http://beyondbarley.blogspot.com/2012/07/no-nonsense-oatmeal-stout.html I have to say it is fantastic...

Labatts, If you cracked the code on sorghum beer, especially with something as easy as adding clarity ferm, that's incredible and you're a hero ! I will give it a go in my next batch. If you have time, perhaps you could post your entire recipe someday. Thinking about your goal of cost...

I just bottled my third batch of Sorghum based beer and I have been pleased with all three, but I am starting to get slightly annoyed with the same bitter twang sorghum finish. I keep thinking I am creating something unique but they all seem to have the same finish in common. I am thinking...

I just brewed my first batch of GF beer, well first batch of any beer in over 15 years and used this recipe which is also sorghum syrup and cascade. http://brewingwithbriess.com/Recipes/beer/display/hoppy-to-be-gluten-free-pale-ale The results greatly exceeded my expectations which were to...
