I recently did two experimental all-grain gluten-free batches, and got some strange results; so much sediment that it looks like milk! Initially, looked about the same, and I thought about running through a filter, but decided to see if it would settle at all. After 5 days, this was the result. These do not have yeast in them, as I decided that I might filter and re-boil. To the left is Batch 2, the shorter mash with the longer cereal …
I've just started brewing at home with Clarity Ferm - in our first attempt we added much more than intended (over half the tube to a 1 gallon brew). Has anyone else done this - do you know if it would have any adverse effects and is still safe to drink? Thanks!
Are there any comprehensive gluten-free brewing books? It's one thing to hack together knowledge from the many great traditional brewing books out there, but a coherent volume specifically for "beers" brewed without wheat, barley, or rye would be an excellent resource. Coverage of malting would be especially useful but isn't necessarily required. For reference, I'm a former homebrewer (who was diagnosed with celiac disease), so I do have a grasp of basic brewing chemistry. But I'm not a chemist by …
I am working on a Gluten Free clone of Sam Summer for my wife, I took a kit from a home brew store that was close and added some lemon and lime zest, and some grains of paradise. The kit uses sorghum extract, and this is the first time I have used this in a beer. I boiled on Saturday April 26th, almost 3 weeks ago, and I am still seeing bubbles in my primary fermenter. Has anyone brewed with …
My wife recently found out she has a gluten sensitivity, so sadly a number of things she loved are now off-limits. As summer is upon us here in Boston, she today realized that Sam Adams Summer Ale is something she can no longer drink, and this was perhaps her favorite beer. Does anyone know any good GF recipes for a beer which would be comparable to Sam Adams Summer Ale?
I just ordered a gluten free kit to brew for a friend of mine who has celiac disease. I have a glass carboy, but another home brewer recommended I start with completely new equipment. Is that necessary? I don't mind getting hoses and things like that, but should I buy a new carboy and new bottles as well?
A few friends of mine have Celiac Disease. They've all told me that the commercial gluten free beers they've tried have been terrible. Can I brew something at home that's tasty and something they can drink?
Collaborating with some in my homebrew club on a recipe for our first gluten-free homebrew. We are currently planning to primarily use sorghum extract, as well as rice extract. We are currently at the stage which we are identifying how best to increase the body and mouth feel of this beer without the use of gluten. Currently, we are of the belief that malto dextrine would be best (though I would love to hear better ideas :) ). Lactose was …
