That sounds delicious. Who knows what it will actually turn out like...but it sure sounds good!

Reviving this.

I'm wanting to brew this for a co-worker with celiac. I bought the book & have the recipe.
Did you buy the kit from Brooklyn? Or just assemble the ingredients yourself? Did you follow the recipe instructions as they spell out in the book?

Thanks.

My take on this...I'm planning on doing it Sunday/Monday. A few questions regarding the cinnamon though. In the Brooklyn Brewshop book (which is really good!) they have a lot of recipes with spices and usually just throw those in during the boil, including cinnamon sticks. Should I do the same or do you think I should put it in the primary?

"Carrot Cake Ale"
3lbs carrots, peeled and grated
1.5lbs uncooked basmati rice
2 1/4 lbs red quinoa
2 lbs honey

mash grains and veggies, sparge, then boil
.3 oz Columbus (full boil)
1.5 oz Cascade hops (divided into 1/5th and added every 15 minutes)
1/2 cup of raisins (full boil)
4 oz maltodextrine
2lb honey at flameout
cinnamon stick--when?

some kind of yeast.

This could be problematic with some folks who have celiac. I know a girl that has pretty severe celiac, and can't eat potato chips because most brands use maltodextrin.

That's surprising since maltodextrin is generally gluten free, particularly when it's being sourced from corn. (Always chances of cross contamination and in Europe it can be sourced from wheat.)

Did you create this recipe? What size batch? The book's recipe is a bit different.

Maybe something else in it than gluten too then. Celiac can cause a number food sensitivities in addtion to gluten intolerance.
