Did a test mash on millet. Details: 1. One pound millet 2. Held at 164-166F for 20 mins (brought up to temp quickly). 3. Allowed to cool to around 162F, added half tsp. amylase (E.C.Kraus) 4. After 20 mins, add another half tsp., amylase 5. End mash after 2 hours, with mash temp down to 142F...

Last week I sent a message to Grouse asking about their products. They sent me a fact sheet that I cannot seem to attached (too large). If anyone here can somehow post it, I'll be happy to send them the file. It should be post here. I bet it would save a lot of trouble. This stuff may be old...

I did my first, possibly last, all grain effort with terrible results. Used: 7lbs pale millet, 1.5 lbs rice hulls, 0.5lb biscuit rice, 0.5 lbs crystal millet. Pretty fine grind, but not flour. 2.25 gal strike water at 180F, gave me a 162F mash. Seemed pretty dry; little in the way of...

Going to try my first all grain with millet this weekend. What should I be aiming for in terms of the grind? Not flour-like, correct? I'm thinking maybe about the same level as ground coffee or something? Thanks for any pointers.

Ok, this is probably a dumb idea, but.... As I gear up for my first all grain (millet) mash, I seem to be pondering ways to EASILY deal with the fact the millet gelatinizes at a higher temperature than the enzymes like. Now, I'll probably just try a single infusion that holds the temperature at...

Seems like alpha-amylase is used quite a bit with GF, infusion mashing. Why is this? I'm going to use millet malt, and I would think that conversion would be pretty good if mashed in the high 150F range for 60-120 minutes. I assume there is something about millet v.s. barley that makes the...

Hello All: I'm just starting on the GF home-brew journey since regular beer is not looking like it will be an option for me. I'm wondering how much grain to use in an all-grain recipe. It used to be I could go to my brewing books to get an idea of how much malted barley to use, but it's not...
