I have pointed this out before but I think it is worth repeating for people who are new to this thread.
If you have coeliac (or celiac) disease then any gluten you ingest is potentially doing you harm even if you don't have a noticeable reaction!
So if you are using clarity ferm on a...
Hi Turboturist, and welcome to the forum.
Although these may be derived from Barley there will be absolutely no gluten in them.
I am a protein biochemist by trade and a lot of my work involves producing and purifying enzymes like these, they are normally expressed in bacteria and purified from...
That is a pretty good understanding of the makeup of a protein, it is indeed a finite set of amino acids. The intolerance is not necessarily to the entire protein but rather to one or several parts of that protein (this is still being investigated). This is where the problem lies, as the clarity...
Hi guys,
I posted this in another thread but it will fit here too.
As someone with coeliac disease and a home brewer I stay away from the clarity ferm. I'm also a molecular biologist and follow the scientific literature on this topic closely.

Hi guys,
I'm malting more grains now and want to try some all-grain brews soon. I know there are a good few people brewing all-grain here, but there is only one recipe in the database.

I get my buckwheat and quinoa from Bulk Barn or similar. They malt really well, but the millet has obviously been treated.
Its good to know someone else here is doing this, how much of the millet did you malt? what did you brew with it?
Where do you get your millet from?
I have found two sources;
http://wesco.co.nz/
http://www.newtonseed.co.nz
both are $5.50kg.
There is also this place that sells lots of varieties of sorghum.

I think I'll order some and give it a go. I've been malting my...
Hi,
has anyone tried malting Japanese Millet, or Sirohie Millet? I know that most millet in the States is White Proso, but this is not available in New Zealand.
Before I started with these varieties I thought it would be best to ask if anyone has any experience with them?
Cheers
Hi, yes I did change my response, I thought that hulled buckwheat wouldn't sprout too but after a bit of google searching I found that it actually does.

hope this helps
They both look OK to me. It looks like this is organic so it shouldn't have been treated in any way but you might want to check in case it has been irradiated or treated in some other way that might affect malting.
