I am reading John's book (its how I got started). I do visit the FAQ when time permits. But there is SO MUCH info to weed thru. I will appreciate you answering a few more questions from a newbie.
(1) What is the "real" difference between a mash, wash, and boil? I have read these described countless times but still do not have a handle on what is meant when these terms are used.
(2) Does a sorghum syrup really need to be brought to a rolling boil? Because I'm experimenting with something new right out of the gate for Gluten Free (GF) brewing I'm not using a standard malt extract. It seems to me that a brew based on syrups (sorghum, corn, honey) would not need such a boil unless it is specifically to get the hops to hit that point where it foams (theres a name for it?).
(3) Where can I order grain bags?
Thank you ALL in advance. This forum has been / is great.
