Here in England I malted some millet myself and did a 1 litre test with it; tried to do a stepped mash, added a bit of sugar to get the gravity up, hop extract, amylase, pectoalse, nutrient and yeast. Agreeably surprised by how good it was.

Can't find it anywhere, despite massive Google sessions and emails to various likely people. Breiss don't seem to export to UK. Sorghum seed can be found, however. When I've had some fun experimenting with millet, I may have a go with that (if it's seed-for-food not...

Yeh, I guess the pre-sugar OG was low as I didn't malt or mash efficiently. I added sugar to try to get to a final ABV of around 4 to 5 %. If I'd taken enough out to fill my hydrometer test jar there wouldn't have been enough left to drink! Activity had pretty much gone invisible when I...

My wife has coeliac disease. The Bosk gluten-free beer kit disappeared from the market just after I got interested in making her some but before I bought the gear. So I started doing wine instead. I also made ersatz beer from Duncan Incapable's recipes, and they're very good, but, not, you...

Re the "benefit from boiling" asterisks, the chart doesn't specify those grains were malted. I've had promising results from a small feasibility study using malted millet. Using just that and some hop extract I got something like a bland European lager.
