The short answer is, it depends.

GF grains tend to be expensive in most stores. Asian markets sometimes carry good alternative grains at reasonable prices. As far as enzymes go, some amylase...

Are those grains all steeped or what? If so your fermentables are just 1# rice extract, 3# sorghum, 1# d45 and 1# soft candi. I would actually expect all that grain to balance the dryness of all...

It's entirely possible to replicate barley beer using GF ingredients. I have a recipe that, when consumed FRESH, tastes just like a brown ale made with barley- if you wait a few weeks it gets...

Adjuncts don't convert grains, grains convert adjuncts. In typical terminology, grain means malt and adjucts mean unmalted other "stuff". It sounds like you just have the definitions backwards;...

As far as gluten equipment goes, brewing and cooking are really the same. Is it OK for them to use a well-cleaned stockpot or plastic storage container that had gluten in it? Those would be pretty...

If you're just looking for toasted buckwheat, it's called Kasha and most natural food stores sell it. A lot of people use plain-old brown rice syrup from the natural food store and it sounds like it...

I think beers like that can be pretty good, you just need some way to add substantial body. If you don't mind haze (and that beer looks dark enough to not really notice anyways), unmalted grains can...

I think it all depends. I agree with igliashon, good beer usually doesn't taste as good when it's ice-cold. My keezer is somewhere in the neighborhood of 38-39, and if I could set it higher I...

They all have DP. Any starchy seed has to, or it wouldn't have evolved to store starches. Whether or not you can manage to retain the DP well enough is another matter.
