Just in case you are wondering, you should scale your ingredients by weight.

Sorghum twang is real. Don't use very much of it unless you want to age your beer for 9 months. see my recipe post for an Idea of how a mostly-sorghum brew is going to turn out. I think the recommendation is to only have it be 1/4 to 1/3 of your fermentables.

Mine has come around too.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the flavor was all sorghum. There is NO honey flavor left. I expected this from pre-brewday research, but figured there was nothing to be lost by trying, since I had a costco-sized container that was crystallizing in my pantry. I've sampled a couple of...

Tried another bottle last night, and I can tell it's starting to come around. the first couple sips still have a "weird" flavor that I can't really describe, but after that it's ok.

my final hydrometer reading put me at around 7%. I could definitely feel it when I finished it. It carbonated up very well with honey as the priming sugar. It did suffer from the usual GF symptom of the head dissipating after about 5 seconds, but there was one. for Body/mouthfeel I'd actually...

I took a taste last week and it tasted like yeasty grapefruit juice! :smack: I just drew off a sample now to take gravity. I had to keep checking the hydrometer to make sure I read it right, I got 1.006! (no Idea what happened there) It didn't help that the beer was too cloudy to see the...

I have almost the same issue. I didn't even use citrusy hops!

I pulled a 1/2 shot glass yesterday (1 week in the fermenter), and it's obviously not done yet; tasted a little sweet and lots of yeast floating around still doing their thing. The flavor was oddly citrusy though.

I pieced this together from several internet sources for my dad's birthday in May. He likes lighter beer, so I figured I'd give something kolsch-y a try. This went in the Mr. Beer on Saturday. I copied my recipe down wrong on my notes and added 1lb of honey instead of the 1/2lb listed. this...
