Rookie question, but for gluten free oats, which should I be using? Bob's Red Mill gluten free offers steel cut oats and rolled oats? Which are the ones I should be toasting to steep? does it matter? which would be better for a gluten free oatmeal stout? Thanks for the help! Matt in Atlanta

Camnavo- Really sorry for the delay. I've been out of the US for a bit and haven't had the chance to tend too closely to personal emails. I actually did go through with this brew. I made a big rookie mistake (only my third GF brew), and under-estimated the boil-off rate and so my final volume...

Ok, I'm going to give this a go. Given the experimental nature, I'm thinking I'll do a 2.5 gallon batch. I've been told that generally speaking, you can cut the recipe in half. gathering ingredients and double checking inventory as we speak. So Chasidic, my rookie question is first, is the...

I've read several places that the fats/lipids in nuts can be dangerous in the brewing process (off flavors, etc.)... are you assuming that the toasting process will neutralize this threat to a certain extent? Just want to make sure I fully understand while I plan. Thanks again! -MGD

Hmmmm... I was thinking malted when I wrote the original email, but I suppose to the extent someone has the stats handy, I'd love to know both - as I'm not quite educated enough on the topic yet to do the calculations, etc. myself. Thanks!

I apologize if this is in the thread already, but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere. I've used a couple, and plan to use several more recipes (several found on the forum) that use buckwheat. I want to use BeerSmith to catalog the process given the functionality and everything else, but don't...

Got it, thanks. I think I'm gonna try it! Pending cost of ingredients that is... there's quite a few things on the list I don't have. Would you consider the base recipe (i.e. without adding the liqueur at bottling) a decent recipe for a simpler brown ale? I'd like to make a brown ale using as...

Chasidic, Did you ever find time to try this recipe? If so, any feedback? I'm a brand new rookie, but before being diagnosed Celiac, brown ales were always my favorites. Thinking about giving this a try after brewing a pale ale with buckwheat a few weeks ago... -MGDawg
