Gluten Free, Grain Free, Paleo Beer

[lopaka]

I'm on my third batch of paleo friendly beer.

Ingredients for 5 gal batch

1 lb dark Roasted buckwheat (is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains)
2 lbs of coconut palm sugar (takes a lot longer to ferment)
4 lbs organic non-gmo beet sugar
small bottle of molasses
1 pack extra dark candi syrup (made with dates)

Yeast - london ale (why - that's what I had in the fridge

Hops of choice

First batch I steeped 2 lbs large flake roasted coconut for flavor. Came out pretty good.

Just in case someone reads this late like I have, beer throughout history hasn't always been made by barley and wheat duh. Some beers were in fact made with rice which is more fermentable than barley, try that as a base and add proteins and something to add body. rice beer will work but it will pick up, harshly, all flavors added like hops which will taste like you put one directly in your mouth.

Why not just make cider?
