Gluten-free Homebrew Beer

Hello,

Surfing the web I found that Briess sells a malted extract syrup made from sorghum. Supposedly it can be used as a 1:1 replacement for barley malt extract in beer recipes. Has anyone tried this material and if so can you recommend a recipe?

Regards,

Wayne

Wayne I have brewed 2 beers this way. The first recipe we used 7 lbs Briess.

This time we used 9 1/2 lbs.

Check out byo.com for a gluten free recipe, that is where I got mine. We made the first recipe listed as is. Kinda weak. That is why the second recipe we used more syrup. We mixed up the hops.

I am on my laptop and it takes me too long to type so I will respond to this when I can sit at my regular keyboard and a mouse.

Wayne, the second beer we made we used Amarillo hops, they are the child of Cascade. Floral aroma. I wanted something not as bitter. This beer is in the first bucket and looks darker, we are hoping for a nut brown but don't know yet. We used more syrup for this batch and boiled "grains". We used toasted buckwheat and malted amaranth. I malted it and it turned a lovely brown and tasted quite nutty. For the honey we used buckwheat which is quite dark. When we change buckets on Sunday we will have a better idea of what it looks like. We will be dry hopping it in the second bucket with Amarillo.

The first beer will be great for when it is hot out with an orange slice. So I have high hopes for this second beer.

Since Teff can be dark in the first place we are thinking about trying it next time. But if we like this current beer then I will stick with the amaranth. Malting is quite easy and I don't see why it can't be used for any of these grains.

Wayne, are you going to be making beer?

As time as given the beer time to develop I am liking it more and more.

It is somewhat pale but not see through, kind of like a hefeweizen look to it.

There is some real good hoppiness to it. I think next time I will make this recipe but I am going to use the bitter hops combined with the Amarillo hops.

Also the gluten-free yeast tends to give it champagne type bubbles which is odd in this beer.

It seems like a light beer when you drink it, as in there is no heaviness. Right now the words are not coming easy so I am having a hard time explaining it.

The second batch we will be bottling this weekend. When we swapped buckets we tasted it and it is very sweet, we dry hopped it then so I am anxious to see how this turns out.

It seems the choices for yeast are limited so I am going to have to do research and see what I can find.

No matter what, it has better flavor then Redbridge.

Any update on how this beer came out? I'm planning on making a similar one, only adding some molasses to darken/flavor it some. Just curious if you were happy with the second batch.

Thanks.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
