Hey all,
I am a fairly new celiac (diagnosed in August) and after a bit of self pity on losing my favorite beverage I discovered Ghostfish and then you guys. I doubled down with a full homebrew setup, kegs and all. I even went so far as to build a heavily insulated fermenting room in my basement.
The first batch came out of secondary last week, followed by a force carb and one week rest. The beer was pretty so so (i over did the citrus) but it was pretty amazing to know I could have beer again.
However, I feel like garbage. Feels like the worst gluten hit I have ever had. Have any of you also been hit by sorghum extract? Any one have any experience with the brewcraft sorghum LME that would indicate it isn't clean? I am trying to track down what did it and wanted to reach out to see if there is any chance that the sorghum and/or hops are the problem.
I used the following:
7lbs Brewcraft Sorghum LME
12oz pure 100% clover honey
2oz cascade pellet hops from a local brew shop
orange zest
dried safeale US-05 yeast.
Thank you
