Gluten free beer

[Maake]

There are lots of variations and degrees of intolerance to gluten. My wife was diagnosed with celiac disease about 10 years ago and at that time there were very few gluten-free beers available. I make beer “crafted to remove gluten” by using ordinary barley and adding Clarity Ferm along with the yeast. That seems to be good enough for her, but it may not be good enough for everyone who has problems with gluten. I would suggest trying that first because then you can brew any beer using any recipe and just add Clarity Ferm to remove the gluten. If that doesn’t work for you, see the article in the March-April 2019 issue of Zymurgy on gluten-free beer.

Yes there is. Mine was diagnosed 15 years ago, and everytime i drink barley based “gluten free” beer i get symptoms, like big underskin pimples on my face, not cool! And loose stomach and gas. And all of those are under 20 ppm, labeled “gluten free” but think about it.
The mash is from barley, rye and maybe even wheat, i seriously don’t believe that some magic chemical reaction would take the glutein away completely, it might break it to so little pieces that it is impossible to find.

If you have celiac disease i advise to drink only gluten free beer made from gluten free ingredients…
