Hi Riddei,

Yeah I add maltodextrine to every brew now at the start of the boil.

And the Australian celiac society says 4 out of 5 celiacs can handle oats, so your wife is obviously the 1 out of the 5.

Riddei, also consider the cross-contamination aspect of oats even when labelled GF. Even oat processors that have dedicated GF lines don't always ensure that their suppliers are GF. Oats are often grown next to wheat, and in the supply chain from farm to mill there are many opportunities for contamination.

Spaced, I don't have temperature control either, so thanks for the honey tip. I'm planning on a GF brew day next weekend, so I need to just pick a recipe and commit. Right now, it's between your Sierra Nevada Inspired Pale Ale and ODaniel's/Midfielder5's Sorgham Ale/ESB (see my link earlier). In fact, I think I may hedge my bets by doing half batches of each to increase the odds of success.

I'll keep you updated on my progress.

No problem with ciders, meads and wines because they normally dont contain gluten. The exception is when theres a tinu tiny bit of xcontamination. Some barrels have paste on the oitside of the barrel and b. Nektar has a mead thats been aged in a beer barrel, but we dont normally use barrels as homebrewers. Mynad experience is too much cider, i need to finish off a keg to put my gluten free beer into.
