Ya most are shyte. LOL. That’s why I’m trying to open a GF Brewery. Cheers

100% GF since there is no definitive test to show the Gluten has been removed. Most Celiacs these days won’t touch a gluten removed beer.

Thanks, a lot of people love my labels since they are quite basic but still have some pop to them. I enjoy thinking of names for each batch now.

What equipment are you using for your mash? Just curious about changing temps during your mash and how you do it? I’ve basically got an 11 gallon mash tun cooler and I just do the usual 164 degrees.

Ya I love the juicy IPA’s as well. Just bottled an Orange IPA. I do re use most of my bottles. The labels I use are an Avery removable adhesive full sheet label. I just bought a laser printer to print them now. I was going to Staples to get them printed but at $60 a batch in labels it was a bit...

Very cool, I’ve made 4 IPA’s now and they have all been awesome. My first all grain was a Porter as well and it was awesome. My biggest disappointment so far was my Irish Cream Ale. It too was too sweet and caramel notes were high.

Hey everyone, just curious on what your favorite style of beer you’ve made so far is and which one surprised you the most on how well it turned out. Feel free to include pics. So far my favorite and biggest surprise are the same beer. The only issue was that I had never had this style of beer...

Update. Actually cold crashed it in my chest freezer for two hours and it cleared up. Sample time before bottling.

Guess I’ll have to invest in a fridge other than my beer fridge.

I have added maltodextrin to mine as well I find the buckwheat does help. However I did just finish up an Extra Stout a few weeks back and used some GF oats and buckwheat and it came up a little thin. I think it wound be just upping the ratios to adjust.

Hey everyone, I’ve never had this happen before where I’ve had so much suspended particles. I did just take out my hop bag a couple of days ago so perhaps there was just a bit or hops get out. I’m using pellet hops. Thoughts?

I get my grains from glutenfreehomebrewing. Rice, Millet, Buckwheat etc. We definitely could spend a boat load on equipment. I priced out a 30BBL system for $350,000 LOL. I’ve gotten used to the process I have now, kind of enjoy the process of the old school way. My stainless steel wart chiller...

Just a though on the draining of your bag into a 2nd kettle. I did a partial mash on my last brew and just put a BBQ grill over top the kettle and put the bag on top and let it drain into the kettle. I had some pre heated sparge water in a cooler to pour over the grains after they drained. I did...

Hey there, I have been GF brewing for about 1.5 yrs and have about 9 batches done and all have turned out awesome. GFHomebrewing has some great recipes and with their help I have branched our making my own recipes. I actually went out and bought a 10g Kettle and mash tun to make 5g batches. With...
