There have been a few posts lately about people looking for an easy, tried and true recipe that will provide a nice, easy drinking GF beer. A lot of these n00bs want to look to kits to get them a good beer right away. This idea works well in the glutenous world, unfortunately, I don't think...

I like hops. I really like hoppy beer. For that reason my tastes have always tended towards IPA's. I could appreciate a good stout like I could appreciate the guitar work of guys like Steve Vai, but like Steve Vai's music....it wasn't for me. That was until I tried, on a whim, Sam Adams Baltic...

Of course most you are probably familiar with Brandon O's Graff recipe. It's really good, and I know because I have made GF versions in the past that taste fantastic! However, I am planning to make something that is more true to it's Stephen King/The Gunslinger roots where it is described as...

Gentlebrewers, I have purchased a two pound bag of quick oats from my local health food store and want to use them in my next brew. However, I am VERY confused about the process itself. Am I mashing them with some sorghum syrup? Cook them first? Toast them first? Rice hulls? HELP...

Hey all, I just got a 2 keg/tap system from kegconnection.com and have been doing a lot of reading here on now to clean/sanitize my new system. I would appreciate you guys taking a look at my procedure and telling me if I am on the right track. #1. Gas line does not need to be cleaned. I do...

So, I found this stuff at my local health food store and picked up a 1lb jar of it. But what to brew? I'm tempted to brew something light so the honey flavor is highlighted more. Like say, 6lbs BRS and 1lb buckwheat honey. Any other ideas? And what hops to use? Earthy or floral? I'm leaning...

I just figured I'd mention that I have tried just about every android brewing app and have found Brewing Assistant my favorite so far. The beauty of it for us GF folks is it has GF extracts like Briess sorghum and BRS. Plus it's free! It also links with the website brewology101.com where your...

That is, except for the kegs and freezer, but I will need everything else. Regulators, disconnects, hoses, temp controller, etc.

Just thought I would pass this on. The couple of LHBS's I've asked have told me that the Briess BRS is unavailable to them. I thought this was odd since you could buy it online from highgravitybrew, but I took them at their word. Recently, I found another LHBS in the area and emailed them...

Last night I brewed up my version of Lcasanova's recipe found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f78/gluten-free-pumpkin-spice-ale-147707/index2.html Here's the ingredient list: OG: 1.055 and SRM: 4 or 5 6lb BRS @ 60 29oz each of caramelized Pumpkin Pie Filling and Puree @ 30 1 tsp McCormick...

Well, like I said in another thread I have a TON of hops since I was given a bunch of Saaz and Hallertau from a friend. I also have a mismatch of fermentables laying around since I bought for a batch and then decided to make Graff (which is coming along nicely I might add). So, here is my...

I was given a bunch of Saaz and Hallertau hops from a friend :ban: 8 oz. of whole leaf Czech Saaz and 4 oz. of pellet Hallertau to be exact. I have to weigh this with my approaching beer needs....aren't we all planning out fall beers already???? I am thinking a bit of these could be used...

This another one of those n00b questions that I know I could learn a lot about by searching (and I have!), but I also think the results people find in glutened beers might be a bit different than our GF beers. So far I have only used Safale S-04 in all my beers (woohoo 4 batches :)) and it has...

Sorry again for another n00b post, but I am about to bottle my second batch this week and have been doing a TON of reading on the subject of bottle conditioning here and other places around the 'tubes. I figured I would ask you guys though if there is anything different or special about...

Sorry for all the n00b questions here guys, but from what I read it seems a lot of you are experienced brewers who tend to skip over some instructions that leave some of us behind. I have been reading about using sweet potatoes and/or bananas in gluten free brews which I understand adds...

n00b brewer help needed here in terms of styling and hops. I have two batches fermenting right now that are both heavily hopped IPA's, but with the heat of summer quickly approaching I want to put together a nice, light post-lawnmowing beer. Here is what I have come up with so far: Name: GF...

Can someone describe or point to a good description or how-to on malting gluten free grains? It seems this process is not exactly the same (maybe a shortened process?) than typical all grain brewing.

I like the bitter end of beers (IPA's - my favorite is Centennial IPA from Founder's) and something with a just a little sweetness to it as well so I am trying to come up with a decent everyday drinker for myself since I am gluten intolerant. I brewed my first batch last spring (busy year) and...

Just about to boil a brew with a grist containing 6.9 lbs of sorghum, 1lb of candidates sugar, 1lb rice solids and 4 oz of maltodextrin. Other than adding at least some of the sorghum late to reduce twang, do you toss in the rest for the full 60 minutes? Thanks in advance!

Well, here's my notes from my first ever batch (it was a 5 gallon batch and I was shooting for an IPA): I bottled it 8 days ago and just had my first one. With a very hard pour I got about 1.5 fingers of head although the bubbles were loose and big. I'll wait another week to try another and...
