The labels in these photos were not on gloss paper, but they got soaked and ruined even with the smallest amount of moisture. I have since moved to gloss sticker paper from onlinelabels . com. That website sells a ton of different options for every printer type. I use an inkjet so ordered gloss...

We’ve been lagging on the meetings lately, just a lot been going on. Joe, the founder recently lost his dad so we skipped that month, and then we had thanksgiving. We should be getting back on track soon! You can also join in live, usually the last Sunday of the month, details posted on the fb...

Just another friendly bump for the Zero Tolerance Gluten Free Homebrew Club. I’ve seen some interesting posts here recently and would like to invite anyone that hasn’t already to join our homebrew club. You can find us on facebook with members from all over the world. Usually there’s multiple...

I emailed deer creek just for the sake of it. They confirmed that they use the same equipment to process all of their malts. I thought it was cool that they referred me to their “friend Twila at Grouse” for any of my dedicated GF needs. They did say that they fully clean all of their equipment...

I believe this is a similar set up to the grainfather. @skleice might have some input on necessary modifications for GF. I think one of the most common is to add a finer mesh screen as millet is so much finer than barley, a lot of the grain can still pass through and clog things up. I...

Along with dropping down the rice %, I would stick with the biscuit rather than the pale rice. Biscuit rice seems to provide the closest barley malt flavors.

I just ordered a bottle of English Ale and Hazy IPA liquid yeast from GFHB. Haven’t used either yet, but excited to try the hazy specifically. I’ll update once I have time for a brew day!

It’s worth pointing out that while GF oats are free of gluten, oats do contain a protein called avenin which is very similar in structure to gluten, and known to cause the same reactions in many celiacs. I would check with those that you intend to brew the beer for whether or not they’re ok...

I only know about the cricuts, and they’re great machines. Their entry level priced machine, the Cricut Explore One is on sale on their website right now for $179 down from $249...

That's really interesting. Obviously with brewing GF I'm using enzymes anyway so I have them at the ready. Maybe worth a shot (even just for experiments sake) if this happens again.

I used a hydrometer for all of my gravity readings. I usually do an iodine test on my brews but to be honest I can't recall for sure if I did. I rehydrated some more yeast with go ferm and pitched that into secondary. It took about a month but I was able to get the beer to finish at 1.023...

I use the Cricut design center to create the label. It’s the easiest to use software I’ve found to make a collage for a label. On the right hand side there is a tab with the stats for each image on the mat. Toggle each image from “cut” to “print”. Then I simply load my printer with Avery...

What’s the reason for juniper berries? Hops are gluten free. Or are you just wanting to make an experimental beer? I’ve never made a beer anything like this so don’t have much to add

New labels for my batch of Cherry berry!

The honey and sugars are probably to get the sugars to the desired SG as well as add some color so you don’t have a clear colored beer. A Decoction mash process is used if you want to use the natural enzymes in the GF malt grains. Because the only malt in this recipe is the white sorghum you...
