Making Gluten Free Root Beer

I have recently become interested in root beer after not having it for many years. However, the ingredients are problematic, so I decided to make my own. Some recipes have a kombucha-like fermentation process and some use Brewer's Yeast. I made the kombucha type but would like to try the beer type using brewers yeast because the kombucha style was not very fizzy. Some Brewer's Yeasts are taken as a supplement and inactive, ie no good for brewing. All of the active brewer's yeasts I have found are not gluten free. Does anyone know of a products that is an active brewer's yeast that is also gluten free?

Yes but I don't think you can brew beer or root beer from that kind. ??

Why not? It is brewer's yeast. I'll admit that I'm no expert on brewing root beer, however, I did spend ~3 years perfecting a malted sorghum/rice gluten-free beer back in the 90's.

From another gluten free site: "The term brewer’s yeast can refer to both the live yeast used to make beer and the spent yeast that is a by-product of the beer-brewing process." If you continue to Google here and there, you find out that only the live yeast can brew beer. Most brewers yeast sold is used as a supplement and is not active and cannot brew anything.

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
