The only thing I can find locally is Moosehead "beer" which is actually hard cider with carbonation?

The liquor store told me to call them with the kind I want & they will see if they can get it for us. So for you beer lovers which one in your opinion comes closest to tasting like Coors light or Michelob light?

New Planet Tread Lightly.

I've tried that one and Redbridge. I prefer the New Planet a bit but it's more expensive (4pk - $8).

The ciders are growing on me... granny smith Woodchuck - yum!

OOPS! I think I got confused & it is Woodchuck. LOL! Woodchuck..... Moosehead.... can you see how my thought process was running?laugh.giflaugh.gif

Thanks Christine! The hubs likes beer --- I'm not a big fan. We both know he will not like the cider stuff. IH said her hubs likes the New Planet too.

I have to say it: Back in the day, I didn't consider Coors Light to taste anything at all like REAL beer.

It is indeed possible! My cuz and his wife did it too.

We had to replace some of the brewing equipment, obviously (like copper wiring) but yup, we did it! Pretty good too.

PM me if you want me to have him tell you what he did.

Why am I not surprised that the scientist brews his own?biggrin.gif

Thanks for the link. I will check them out tomorrow. Today is shot. I have no mind for decisions this evening. Already made too many of those today.

I doubt I'm the only one interested. B) Maybe you could share it for the board?

Coors Light is panther piss. Anyone who thinks it is beer is obviously suffering from neurological issues--brain fog--caused by gluten.

:lol: I'll second that. See-through beer is for wussies. I really miss a good pint of Guinness. Not the wretched bottled stuff either. A properly poured nitrogen tap pint from a fresh keg. The Green's Endeavor dubbel is the closest I can come now.

Amen to that, sister!

I think you will understand how much I am loved when I tell you hubs gave up his beloved Guinness voluntarily when he went gluten-free with me. My big Irish guy--his life- blood!! :)

There is nothing like having one in a pub in Ireland. Even I drank a half pint with my lunch every day.

It took F O R E V E R for that head to die down. :lol: It is a 20 minute delay from asking for it and getting it to your lips. You chat ....and wait.

When you are halfway down the pint, you order the next one because it will take a while for it to arrive. :lol:

No one gets impatient waiting for it, because they know it will be the best sip they have ever had. Hubs calls it "mother's milk".

I'll ask him to put his notes for the ale together and we'll post it.

I am surprised no one has done it on here already--some directions are on the internet, I think?

Here you are! Since you have already done this, I provided his notes too. :)

I made the following changes to my existing beer brewing equipment:

Replaced fermentation lock, bottling tip, caps, racking cane, tubing, bottle and carboy brushes and spoon for stirring wort.

Replaced copper cooling coil and tubing piece with drilled holes ( 20 holes 1/16 inch) for aeration. Replaced activated charcoal and hydrogen peroxide for aeration set up.

Cleaned SS 10 gallon pot several times. Used (in separate cleanings) Bartenders Friend and B-Bright with plastic scouring pads. Carboys washed repeatedly with B-Brite and clean water rinse and sanitized with Clorox in water solution (2 Tbls. per gallon of water and soak for approx 15 minutes. )

Thanks! Sorghum syrup makes sense! I wonder if my local homebrew supply has it. I wonder if there is enough tyramine in homebrew to make me sick? :huh: Drat. I'm not used to worrying about stuff other than gluten.

Crappers! that's in fermented beverages, right?

Yes, I hardly ever drink beer so I didn't think of it but it is on all the tyramine lists. Red wine is really hard on me and fermented things like yogurt, sauerkraut, and miso are a no-go.

Sorry, hon. Save the recipe. Maybe in time, you can tolerate it once more? I have my fingers crossed for us all.

I can't do red wine anymore and a nice Amarone was my favorite :(

Sometimes, this does suck.

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      By RMJ · Posted

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?
