How much malto dextrin is too much? Increasing body of gluten-free homebrew a word of caution: sorghum makes for a very bad tasting beer. You really need to sweeten (honey, sugar) and hop (2-4 oz) the wort to mask the flavor. My friends w/ celiac like the beer, but compared to real beer it has a terrible aftertaste. I would suggest other malt alternatives like Quinoa, Amaranth & Buckwheat for base grains. |

Will bitterness from a flameout coffee addition fade with age? for future batches, add whole beans to secondary 1/4 to 1/2 lb. you get the coffee flavor without the overwhelming acidity |

Building Custom Sized Carboys glass does break easy. i've learned that the hard way. fortunately it was empty. No beer was lost <phew> |

Building Custom Sized Carboys there you go :) glass is the default type but it doesn't have to be. |

Building Custom Sized Carboys some say plastic will leach into the beer, where glass will not. It really depends on how long the beer will sit. if it was a few weeks, then there is no harm. a few months then maybe I would go for a stronger material, but that could just be a boogie-man of home brewing. plexi-glass may be a good choice for building a secondary fermenter too. |

Maple wood aging as opposed to maple syrup for the pumpkin pie flavor I'd go with equal parts powder ginger, nutmeg & cinnamon in secondary. not too sweet, so the beer/hops character doesn't disappear behind the sweetness. |

Initial Fermentation Temp? the difference between 70 and 75 for home brew, especially your first few batches is negligible. |

What does it mean when a recipe calls for a boil addition of coffee in pounds, but also mentions brewing the coffee? i made a coffee stout before with 1lb of coffee and yes you don't need nearly that much (lesson learned). 1/4 - 1/2 lb is plenty. I used whole bean in secondary for 2 weeks and it came out great. |
