    Brown ale brewing tonight

    No it's not. It's been awhile since I've done GF brews but I had a batch that I gelatinized quinoa, brought temps down, added millet and amylase, mashed, and got a few OG points. I also did the same thing with black rice and it seemed to work well. Both methods seemed to add a little body that...

    Brown ale brewing tonight

    What about mashing millet and oats with the amylase? Do you think there will be enough beta -glucanase in the millet to convert the oats?

    does gf beer need yeast nutrient

    I used it before without realizing this. For a couple bucks why not throw some in.

    Brown ale brewing tonight

    How did you make the crystal oat malt? Is it actually malted or just toasted. I've been thinking of doing a mash with roasted oats and amylase enzyme at 145 F for 60-90 minutes and see if I get any conversion.

    Whole Foods Sorghum Syrup vs Sorghum Liquid Extract

    So I'm diving back into gluten free brewing after picking up a kegerator (my girlfriend in addition to her gluten allergy was diagnosed with a minor yeast allergy). I can cold crash now and get most of the yeast out. Anyways, I've been by a whole foods investigating gluten free grains and...

    Easy Stovetop All-Grain Brewing (with pics)

    Yes just make sure you check to see that your grain/water will fit the pot (the bag will take some room too). http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml (third one down) You won't be able to make any high gravity beers unless it's a partial mash.

    DFH Tweason Ale and Buckwheat Honey

    So Dogfish Head is supposed to release their gluten free beer to distribution sometime this month or next. As a non-GF beer drinker I am a huge fan (spending part of my life in Southern DE certainly helped) of DFH and think it is a great move for them. My girlfriend who does have a gluten...

    Thoughts on using Old Bay seasoning

    So I've been wanting to do a mini batch of Gose for sometime and in the family tradition of using Old Bay seasoning on near anything (we summer in Delaware where it's crab country) thought I might replace the salt. Not expecting much for responses here as it's a rare idea (already tried the...

    Hibiscus flowers in a wheat beer

    Make a tea with the hibiscus and add it to your bottling bucket. You could try and boil some with your priming sugar/DME and then add the mixture to your bottling bucket also.

    Hibiscus flowers in a wheat beer

    I did a Biere de Garde with Hibiscus and the flavor was evident right after boiling but after fermentation it was gone. I would suggest making a tea before bottling and adding it then.

    Need thoughts on Blue Moon GF Clone

    Did not end up making this but opted for a continuously hopped (60 minute) IPA. Let me know if anyone tries it or something similar.

    Need thoughts on DFH 60 Minute GF Clone

    I ended up leaving this beer as it was. After bottling first tastings were similar to my all extract (sorghum and rice) pale ale I had made before. As it aged this did seem to develop some body as well as head retention! I thought my girlfriend was drinking one of her roommates non GF IPAs...

    Boston Area Craft Beer Bars?

    To each his own. I'm just saying they have a huge beer selection and for a non Boston native isn't a bad place to check out.

    Boston Area Craft Beer Bars?

    If you're gonna go as far as Deep Ellum I would recommend going a few blocks further down the street to Sunset/Big City.

    DFH Aprihop clone - I need some opinions on my recipe

    Not directly related to the recipe but the flavor changes year to year. From a tour with Sam at DFH he commented how Aprihop began to get away from being a apricot flavored IPA and more of a fruit flavored beer. This year they dialed back the apricot and kept it more an IPA but I can definitely...

    Any Harpoon beers worth a damn?

    I also would go with the Munich Dunkel (not sure how easily you can get it) and the Oyster Stout.
