Some people said it was down to adding all of the sorghum at the start of the boil. Since moving to temperature controlled brewing environment for the fermenters that's definitely less of an issue. As well as switching to kegging.

I've always done 60min boils with the sorghum added at 60mins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388125634663106381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607662655083892404.post-77151100345221027052013-07-09T08:35:38.084-07:002013-07-09T08:35:38.084-07:00Thanks for the reply.

Its currently dry hopping.<br /><br />That's interesting about the calcium.

To answer your questions:
1. I do ...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />To answer your questions:<br /><br />1. I do a boil of about 2.5 Gallons of water (10L) and top up at the end to just over 5 Gallons (20L) in the fermenter. I've read that people produce better beers if they can boil all 5 Gallons but my pot is too small for that.<br /><br />2. I add calcium carbonate because others have said it reduced acidity in Sorghum (I haven't been able to confirm this) but they also said acidity is related to the sorghum "twang". For the very small price it adds I throw it in. Yeast nutrient though is a must have. Be sure to use that.<br /><br />Good luck with your brew and be sure to tell me how it goes.BrewMan101https://www.blogger.com/profile/06323310459171265505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607662655083892404.post-63486683102514247162013-06-24T14:47:41.908-07:002013-06-24T14:47:41.908-07:00Thanks for the recipe.

Can I ask a couple of questions?<br /><br />What is your target post boil volume and gravity?<br />Why did you add the calcium?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
