So at this point I am 97% sure I'll be going live with my business concept selling gluten free brewing ingredients. I'm still working on setting up my production equipment; it's a serious pain in the neck to design and fabricate malting equipment with limited resources, but I think I've got it mostly figured out. It's all designed for precise process control and repeatability, and I'm setting out to produce a consistent, quality product that nobody else currently makes. Since I'm now biting the bullet and paying equipment costs, I figure I should recruit some people to help test my product once I get it rolled out. Extract production is way out of my league (technically and financially), so my ingredient production will be limited to GF malt.
I'll be looking for people to help test base, crystal and roasted malts as I get them produced. I'd be most interested in finding gluten-free brewers with decent process control that do mini-mash and all-grain brewing, and would be willing to give me plenty of feedback. Big plus if you can share your beer back to me or others for more feedback. I do not currently have a time table for test production, but I hope to be rolling sooner than later.
I have no specifics for how a testing agreement might be structured right now, and would be open to whatever ideas. I would hope that testers would be willing to pay for shipping at a minimum (or in igliashon's case, he can come to my house, pick it up in person and drink my beer).
Disclaimer: This is all still experimental. All equipment is dedicated solely to gluten-free production, but the experimental nature of the product will probably not always result in awesome beer.
Thoughts? Questions? Interest?
