Finally got my kit started. On the plus side of this, I have a biopsy scheduled for Jan 14th, and until then they want me eating gluten again. Equivalent to 3 slices of bread a day. Well, I've got a cellar full of beer! I wonder how many beers worth of gluten are in 3 slices of bread? :D...

Finally had the time and all the equipment to get this going. Need a big pot, found some maltodextrin at another brew shop . . . Took longer than the kits I've been making in the past, that's for sure! The SG came out right no target, so I assume I've done at least something right! The wort...

I've been having trouble finding maltodextrin. I did find one store that has it, but it is a bit ofd a drive. Does anyone know if this is the same? QSE Gold Medal Carbs (MaltoDextrin) - Natural - Supplements Canada.com "INGREDIENTS: Maltodextrin, Yielding the following Glucose Polymers...

Well, swung by the brew store and made a list. Bunch of stuff added to the Christmas wish list! :)

Ah, I might prefer the Saaz hops then. I'll try that one first. thanks!

The ingredients list calls for Liberty hops, but the recipe describes saaz hops. Does it use both? Are they very different? I ended up ordering both.

cool, thanks for confirming that.

Please forgive me as I have never brewed anything except kits. When you say "still convert the starch to sugars" I assume that is what this step does: "Heat 3 gal H20 to 160F and steep rice flakes for 30 mins, holding liquid around 160F." or is there something else I would need to do to the...

I can't find the pre-gelatinzed rice flakes, though I did find brown rice flakes. Can I use those instead? I also read somewhere that minute rice might work? Is that true?

Kevin, you have a recipe for that lager? Today was a sad day, just bottled a dutch lager and racked my redwood ale. I've got about 150 bottles of gluten rich beer to give away! On a positive note, before I get a biopsy test I am supposed to go back on gluten for a week. So I'm gonna enjoy...

I've been having acid reflux for years, but no major issues until recently. Up until monday I was eating pasta and bread. So currently, a bit of gluten isn't a problem for me. I imagine once my intestines heal they will be more sensitive to gluten, but apparently that can take up to a couple...

Not really into cider. I'll see how this beer turns out though!

I made kits before, all very good, from stout to pilsner. I like most any beer! Do I really need to get rid of everything? wouldn't sanitizing ensure it is clean enough? I don't plan on replacing all of my kitchen cooking utensils, should I do that too?

Alright just placed an order for all the ingredients form a Canadian distributor to save some $$$. It still costs $110 for 2 batches worth of stuff with shipping (figured I would double up to save on shipping costs). The only thing I couldn't get was Rice Flakes (pre-gelatinized) so...

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can find the ingredients here. I'm in Canada, so probably not worth the shipping hassle to buy the kit. Recipe doesn't look to difficult! Now I just need to empty my equipment of the tasty beer I can't have :( Guess I'll have lots of Christmas presents for people!

Crap . . . .I need some help here. I've made several beers before, but all from kits. I've got 2 on the go right now :mad: Anyway I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction for brewing from scratch glutten free. I have no expereince with any boiling etc, and am a bit...

Ok, I usually fill my grolsche a bit under an inch. I have a few bigger bottles so I will just play around with different levels. Maybe start at 1.25 inches. Thanks!

Couple questions. . . how much is a good amount of head space, and if I use a bigger bottle(1L) should I have more or less or the same head space? Also, what is a good temperature for bottle conditioning? Thanks!

$40 for enough bottles for one batch. just talked to a guy in the office here and he paid $30 for grolsch bottles from the bottle depot . . . I agree that buying pre-filled ones from the liquor store is a good way to go, but I probably wouldn't drink them all in time to bottle a batch. At...

I just called the home brewing store her, and he said it would cost about $40 for bottles. They can't take my wine bottles, but figured I could sell 'em on craigslist, so I'll probably do that.
