This light ale
recipe is the most basic gluten free kit we offer. An ideal first low
gluten brew so you can get an idea of what malt flavors sorghum
contributes to beer. This recipe is light and easy drinking.
Gluten free beers are a different
world when it comes to finding a
suitable replacement for the base extract. Celiacs
are alleric to the
hordein protein found in the base malts such
as 2-Row and Pilsner malt. They are also allergic to the gliadin protein found in wheat which is the biggest offender of the two proteins.
As a
homebrewer your goal is to find a suitable fermentable that can emulate
the
maltiness in beer.
Our Gluten
recipes use Sorghum
extract for the base fermentables.
Hops aggressively cut through the
maltiness from sorghum easily.
Hop additions in gluten free beers tend to be 40-50% less than normal.
All
our gluten kits
include dry yeast due to the small traces of the gliadin protein found
in
liquid yeast.
(Although lab research has
found the yeast metabolize the gliadin protein after fermentation and
significantly reduce the ppm present.)
