Not a clue, dude. Whatever gas mark 6 for 3 hours is... It was Imperial 5 gallons, 4.4lb of malted corn, 2lb of golden syrup.

I have done an all corn beer before. Malted and roasted the corn, did the brew. I also added some golden syrup for a little more colour as I was aiming for a "yellow beer", and got it spot on. I'm guessing you can find a substitute for Golden Syrup in America? It was a good beer, really light...

I have used polenta flour in some of my lagers, before. Mostly when I was out of flaked corn. Does pretty much the same job. But best putting it into a brewing bag, as it becomes gelatinous. :)

Hey man, Just to let you know, I have successfully malted the millet from the Healthfood shop in Freeport. Roasting in the next day or two. Still avoid the one from Holland and Barrett, though.

Hi Steve. I have converted a barley recipe in to Gluten Free before, and it just so happened to be Zombie dust. Only done it the once, and it turned out nice. But I have nothing to compare it to, mind... I think I posted the recipe on here about a year or so ago...

Yeah, it's something I would like to pursue business wise, but it's a question of demands and current finances... Saw that a message had been sent, but couldn't read it... I started reading up from old books and looked into how bitter is done, and it seemed perfect as a base, as it mixes...

Hey man. I live in Wakefield, down the road from you probably. :) Welcome to the group. I malt and roast all of my own buckwheat. Not had much luck with millet, but I am going to be trying again soon. Buckwheat you can buy in bulk from Healthy Supplies website. Just Google it and it will come...

Hey, dude. Depends where about's in Europe you are. Is it just millet you are looking for? I don't know of any malted GF grains, but I buy grains and malt/roast them myself. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I always prefer to add pectolase at the end. For some reason, it never seems to work for me when I add it at the beginning. Just give it 48 hours to settle. Then bottle/keg. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ahhh, right. Well, 3 weeks in should be ok. Try it. If it seems ok, bottle it. It turns out a little sweet, anyway. I meant using your own hops rather than the hop oil they put in the kit, and do your own schedule. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey. Yes, I have. I have done the American lager and the strawberry one. Pretty straight forward. Just do as it says in the instructions and you can't go wrong. It's not amazing, but better than a kick in the teeth. Better to do your own hop schedule and use the sorghum for that. I'm not too...

It's not just Lyles, though. There are many brands, maybe not in America, though. I use Asda's own, for example. But still, the closest you will get to it without getting it imported or spending loads would be to use Amber Belgian Syrup. Or, you could look into making some of your own? Sent...

Well, Golden Syrup would be Golden Syrup... The closest you will get to it in America without importing it or paying a fortune would be Amber Belgian Syrup. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cs, I use buckwheat from Healthy Supplies website. Quite cheap, and come in 1kg for a couple of quid. They also offer discounts on more you buy. I malt and roast it myself, and it turns out pretty good. Only need to roast it for an hour or so on about gas mark six. If you want crystal malt, a...

Well, buckwheat isn't a grain. It's a pseudo grain. Try that? Plenty on here about malting buckwheat. Or, doing the diet you are, you can try date syrup. There was also a thread about this some months ago. Try searching for that? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My raisins and sultanas do, too. Never seem to cause any issues. It will be a "trace" amount, anyway. Something to stop them clumping together properly in the bag. But as I said, I make these all of the time with no issues. If I can make great tasting wine for about £8 for an Imperial 5 gallons...

Whenever I have made the "Gone with the wheat" kits, it only ever takes about 7 days. Then bottled up and it's been fine. Stick it into a warm area and see if it gets going, again.

That looks tasty as sin, man. When I have cleared some of my freezer space from other hops I have used, I shall smuggle some more in past SWMBO to make this. May have to change a few things due to stuff I can't get hold of, but I will let you know when I make it and how it came out. Again, was...

This is the lacing on top, and it is also clear enough to see Bane through it. :)

Yeah, I have done a trial test with some before, but it didn't take that long to do. Next time, I will have some patience and get it done. Definitely my next to do. I don't want to use treacle, as it is a little bit like molasses in beer.
