1st attpt GF Pumpkin recipe

[Jaxmickey]

Hello All,

Managed to put this recipe together. Never brewed a GF beer before, let alone a pumpkin one. Would you guys please help me refine it before I brew it next month? for my buddy's wife that has celiac, so no gluten at all.

Thanks in advance!

may even pre-roast the pumpkin at 350 for 45' with a light coat of honey before adding to boil.

A recipe that I have for a "GF Pumpkin Dubbel" recommends using buckwheat.

I've never made it, but I can send it over if you'd like to take a look for some ideas.

It's a PDF file, so shoot me a PM with your email address if you want it, and I can send it over ASAP. There are 3 other GF beer recipes that I can send, as well.

PM sent! Thank you!

My experience with sorghum extract, I did not like E.K.Goldings for late additions. I don't think it paired well with the citrus tendencies of the sorghum. I have had good success with Columbus and Magnum for bittering hops, and I ended up with Amarillo and Cascade for late additions. Something to consider for other recipes that have late additions.

For honey, I would consider 100% buckwheat honey. Heath food stores usually carry it. It is more expensive but great for a brewing sugar.

Did you malt the quinoa yourself?

ok. Thanks for the hops and honey idea! I buy it sprouted already. I don't have the time to do that part of the process.
