GF Homebrew, 6/11/2011 (first try)

Gluten Free Homebrew Bottled 6/11/2011 Fermented ~4 weeks. Made using 6lbs Sorghum Syrup and 2oz Cascade hop pellets. It's quite hoppy, but overall pretty awesome. I primed with 2/3 C table sugar. We should know how that turns out in a couple weeks.

Starting gravity: 1.028, final gravity: 1.008, approximate ABV 2.6%. Next time, use more syrup.


I ran out of bottles, so I drank the remaining bit flat.


Many props to Northern Brewer. I got their "Better Basic" starter kit (with glass carbouy). The price was excellent, and I can't believe how much fancy stuff you get. The first time I did this (over ten years ago, I think), bottle brushes, bottling wands, and buckets with taps were like semi-pro. This was SO much easier. Even the included DVD with step-by-step brewing instructions was awesome.
