Oven roasting

[TheMadKing]

Has anyone tried oven roasting rice and or oats for a flavoring element in a GF amber ale?

I was thinking of doing

Sorghum for the base sugar
90L candi syrup
6 oz of golden toasted oats
8 oz of golden toasted minute rice

I have never made GF beer before and am attempting it for a celiac friend's christmas gift.

Lightly toasting grains in the oven works out very well.
I brew with a lot of non-malted grains, and I typically toast them on a cookie sheet.

you can get some off flavors if you get them too dark, so be conservative with the roast.

Awesome good to know, thank you!

Off topic...

Hey Legume, what is your source for non-malted base grains (millet, I assume)? My batches typically call for 12 lbs of Pale Millet Malt and I feel like I'm peeing away money here (hey, technically I am!)

I get millet for about $2 / lb, eigther on amazon (from great river), or from my local grocery store that will order 20lb bags for me.
