any suggestions?
its getting downright cold up here in the NW and, in turn, i think i could pull off my first lager. thanks in advance!
I use this method in all of my beers, never an issue. The reward of getting a better and more unique tasting beer (IMO) outweighs the risk of having about 30 parts per billion of gluten (Maths: 50 ml at 12 ppm diluted into 19,950 ml at 0 ppm = 0.030 ppm).You can use White Labs, which has a ton of variety, but it isn't completely gluten free as stated above.
ill most likely be using some sort of sorghum/brown rice combination. i've brewed about 6 GF beers so far (blood orange, rasperbby, and strawberry 'wheats,' a few different IPAs, a ginger IPA, etc) but no lagers. in fact, i've never done any lagering. the closest thing was a kolsch i made two years ago.

Is your yeast gluten free?
Thank you for your inquiry. Our yeast is low in gluten and is below the European standard for being labeled as gluten free; the American standards are still being developed. The European standard for gluten free is below 20 ppm. Our yeast analysis:
Yeast slurry in package: 12 ppm
When our yeast is used with ingredients such as sorghum to make gluten free beer: 2 ppm
I do not have experience with these yeasts, but I'm sure someone here has. Now you just need to choose
