Using Einkorn wheat to brew beer
 

The ancient form of wheat called Einkorn wheat has 14 chromosomes compared to dwarf wheats 28 chromosomes. This older form of wheat has been made into bread and eaten by those suffering from Celiacs disease.
Dr. William Davis who wrote the book Wheat Belly suffers from Gluten intollerance decided to make bread from Einkorn and he had no bad reaction.

Is there a way to malt this wheat at home so someone can brew a batch and test it out?
I found a source for Einkorn wheat berries.

Would love to hear anything you find out about this.

I'm interested too.
Even brewing aside, it sounds interesting.

Plus I've got a niece with wheat issues. It could be good info for my brother and sister in law.

I would assume you would malt it just like you would any other 'normal' grain or pseudo grain. Check out some of our articles in here on malting. There are quite a few including home made crystal.

Though I have just found this link that says it is not suitable for Coeliacs...

I'd file this in the same category as "Brewing with Clarity-Ferm"--i.e., it might be okay for some people, and if it is, good for you, but it's not going to be suitable for everyone, and is probably not of interest to those of us trying to find a solution that is workable to all of us with gluten issues.

I might recommend trying a bread with it before trying to brew with it to assess tolerance. Less time and effort involved that way. Or just get a box of the pasta that they sell at Whole Foods.

Here is a source for malted Einkorn wheat.
