    Interesting news for GF Homebrewing

    I don't personally brew GF anymore, but I still get newsletters from some GF suppliers. Here's one that caught my eye I thought I'd pass along... Email from glutenfreehomebrewing.org, says: "...We have dropped a few hints over the last couple years about a possible malt extract. Well, we...

    all 3 grainfather beers cloudy?

    This topic was covered pretty well already here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=396754 But essentially, your cooling rate is fine, but maybe try giving it a 1-2 hour cold break and rack off wort to fermenter leaving break behind. Again, already lots of naysayers, but science...

    all 3 grainfather beers cloudy?

    Cold break chill haze. It's voodoo speak to some but worth reading about.

    Concrete Roller Mill

    Ah, well... Since the only ingredients in concrete are stone ag, silica sand, portland cement and (maybe) lime, I'd say the only negative would be the < .0n% chance of pH getting skewed by the lime, this would be a very low risk though. People ingest more concrete living near a quarry or cement...

    Concrete Roller Mill

    Can you elaborate on your contamination concern? I'm a little confused by it. Contamination from, and, of what exactly?

    Concrete Roller Mill

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdvGtujJ8C8 Good luck! Hope it goes well. fwiw, I'd stay away from pressure-roller type mill design and look to an adjustable buhrstone style or impact as they're far more adjustable than pressure rollers.

    Concrete Roller Mill

    IMHO: Quit wringing your hands and be *that guy* who either succeeded or failed with it ;-) Just be sure to post up DIY and results :rockin:

    Homebrew Store in Stockton, CA

    I think Fat City is still around... You may want to check with homebrew clubs in the area to see what LHBS's are around and what people are actually looking for in a LHBS. Good luck!

    What Gluten Free Beer are you brewing this weekend?

    That Summer Light Lager didn't last long; so this weekend I'm off to the races with run #2 of American Amber Ale BIAB... 1st run was really good, but I over carb'd so ended up with some gushers. Won't make that mistake again :mug: Brew Method: BIAB Style Name: American Amber Ale Boil Time...

    Seriously? 56% efficiency? Seriously?

    gustavohmsilva- Yes, his is a Maltbite, although his rollers are knurled, not lines. Just a suggestion if you want knurls: Take yours apart and bring the rollers to a metal fabricator. It'd be a very simple job to turn the lines into knurls... Probably a $10 job. I bet if you bring some...

    Seriously? 56% efficiency? Seriously?

    gustavohmsilva, I have a cousin in Argentina who has that mill. His rollers are knurled, which from your picture makes it slightly different from yours. He only has problems with it when he mills using his 3/8 inch rechargeable drill. It seems to work better with more power. When he borrows a...

    Brewing an IPA next weekend, here is the plan

    Looks good! Personally, I'd move the whirlfloc to 5 minutes since Irish Moss tends to break down in boils longer than 10 minutes, significantly reducing its effectiveness. Also, on the dry hop: The last few GF's I brewed, I swirled the fermentor a couple times a day. This drastically...

    Gluten Free AG Questions

    The cold crash really helps. After 2 or 3 GF brew day experiments, I can say I like a nice mellow 45F cold crash for 3-7 days. Helps with the chill haze too.

    Help! My 1y/o kid just shoved a salad tongs into a carboy, backwards.

    100% win! Although I think explosives would have been 150% win ;-) :mug:

    Omega Red Russian Imperial Stout

    Be ye forewarned about roasting whole buckwheat! The hulls will char very quickly. Soak them in water prior to roasting. It'll help keep burny-bits from starting too early in the process. Well, that's my experience. Not sure if someone has a better method ;-) Not speaking for Ig here, but I...

    Attenuation of GF Grains

    Yes. It's the same enzymes at play with GF grains. There's lots of info right in this sub-board on this exact subject. Check them out. I think it's interesting you keep saying conversion isn't your problem since conversion is key to the volume of fermentable sugars available in your wort...

    Omega Red Russian Imperial Stout

    Yes, we 'Muricans thought the Queen's English was too complicated, so we call beetroot's, beets ;-) Post updates on your progress too! Question for you: When you stir your kettle, do you have to stir clockwise or counter clockwise? lol
