    Mexican Cake clone info - directly from Westbrook Brewery

    Hi all, I realized I hadn't posted an update on the recipe I brewed around this time last year. The recipe I followed can be found on page 2. Here are some thoughts I had about the beer: - If I had to do this all over again, I would probably mash a bit higher than 150 F or add some lactose to...

    Mexican Cake clone info - directly from Westbrook Brewery

    Kegged my version of this last night. Final gravity came in at 1.026. ABV of 11.1%. Poured half of the liquid from the tincture into the bottom of a purged keg and siphoned the beer on top of it. Purged headspace and set CO2 regulator to 12 PSI @ 40F to achieve around 2.4 volumes of CO2. Gonna...

    Mexican Cake clone info - directly from Westbrook Brewery

    Just pulled a sample of the beer. It has been in primary for 11 days at this point. Gravity came in at 1.026, which puts ABV at a whopping 11.1%! Some notes from the sample: Wonderful aroma. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and some toffee as well. Flavor definitely has some booze in it. But...

    No Nonsense Stout

    Nice! I have explored glutenfreehomebrewing.com pretty extensively, I will definitely plan to order from there. I actually came across the thread where you posted that you had made that beer you described, haha. What was the recipe for your partial mash? :mug:

    No Nonsense Stout

    I actually have not bottled it yet! Haha. It is still fermenting, probably will give it another two weeks and then take hydrometer readings. I just brewed it this past Monday. I really would like to move to all grain for GF brewing. How difficult was it to roast the millet? I thought...

    No Nonsense Stout

    I am glad someone is out there! Haha. So, as of right now, it has been in the primary fermenter for ~ 60 hours. It is still bubbling about once every 5 seconds or so, so it seems to be taking its time. But it looks great. I also took a couple of whiffs off the top of the airlock, and it...

    No Nonsense Stout

    One and a half year bump...? :rockin: I saw igliashon's original recipe earlier this year here on HBT, and I also found it posted on Brewtoad. I gathered the ingredients back in February, and I FINALLY brewed it last night. I wanted to avoid sorghum entirely, so I ended up using brown rice...
