The more i think about this the more I am leaning to adding a partial mash of Millet and Buckwheat. I found the Corona style clone grain mill on amazon for pretty cheap and it has decent reviews. I think i may use the same ingredients above but roll it up to a 5-5.5 gallon initial batch and...

Do you do work for race horses?

Haha, they might be a bit large as they are a foot tall give or take... but I may have to talk to a friend that does torch work to make some handles when I manage to procure a kegerator

These are some vases I made a few years ago, they were one of my signature pieces. I really liked glass from the fact that it takes repetition to learn. In metal even a novice can make a nice piece, they just have to work a lot longer, where as with glass you either can make something or you...

Quality manager here but my degree is in glass blowing and metal smithing. Needless to say, being new to brewing, I can't wait to drink my first batches I make out of glasses I have made ;)

So the bug has bitten me and I want to start playing. I had the idea for a 'key lime pie' ale and got pretty good feed back on the basic concept from friends (a couple of who home brew gluten-full beers). I am also considering a lemon/lime variant that may be an easier idea to start with...

Thanks billl, I just started the Brewers Best GF Ale kit yesterday, and it went well. Honestly it felt a little too easy haha. I think I am going to try a partial mash for the next round before I jump to all grain. I didn't think about doing all grain small scale with just bags since all the...

The pineapple blend took off like a rocket and blew through the air lock twice so I tossed a blow off tube on it this morning and am still getting more than one bubble per second out of the blow off tube. So i guess its just time to wait...

Got the other 2 started this morning. I am surprised how high the PH was on the pineapple one after I mixed it, the strip looked like it was around 4. The pineapple blend ended up being a little light on honey since I ran out of the alfalfa but not by much (about 1.42 lbs). Both of them looked...

I was going to wait until tomorrow but I got impatient and started the orange blossom mead tonight. I may have used more fermaid k than is correct because i was estimating with a spoon and i did not estimate the head space in the jug correctly and only got half of the yeast starter in before it...

Thanks for the suggestion! I just ordered a small thing of it from amazon (oh how i love prime) I did get a pack of Ph strips to test with my big order coming tomorrow too just to get some exact measurements so I can get repeatable results.

Hello Everyone, So I am taking the plunge into brewing my first mead (well my first anything). The following are 3 recipes I am planing to start with, any feedback would be appreciated. 1- Simple Mead: 2.5 lb Orange Blossom Honey Spring water to 1 gal Go ferm for rehydration Fermaid K...

Qhrumphf, I may be lucky that I never got to experience 'normal' beer much. It has even been so long since i went GF that I bet if I grabbed a burger or something with 'normal' bread it would taste weird to me ;) Green's is the only commercially brewed beer that my gluten consuming friends have...

If i was just intolerant to gluten i would consider it but since celiac is an auto immune reaction and causes pretty substantial damage (even if you don't have any immediate reactions to consuming gluten) its not something i would consider. There is also some debate about if the results of the...

Thanks guys. Max, I have already bookmarked a few recipes to try in the GF section. I am really excited to try some beer styles I missed out on since i was diagnosed w/ celiac during my first year in college. I posted there (think its still waiting for mod approval) for some direction on my...

Hello Everyone, I am brand new here and brand new to brewing, I have wanted to do some home brewing for a long time and finally just took the plunge and ordered probably more stuff than i need... but why not do it right? So a little background to hopefully help y'all direct me: I have...

Hello Everyone! The quick about me: I have never brewed anything (yet) but have been interested in it for years since a friend started doing some homemade wines and meads (and who now, unsurprisingly, is a head brewmaster at a brewery in NC). I have celiac disease and while I have found a few...
