Gluten Free Home Brewing

Post by dave »

Hi,
I have recently purchased the basics for brewing beer at home.

I am attempting to brew gluten free beer (my wife has celiacs desease). Hence beer made with with buckwheat, rice and/or corn are the only ones she can drink.

I am looking for a home brew supply store in Toronto where I might find any or all of the following specalized beer brewing products:
-Rice Syrup
-Flaked Corn
-Flaked Rice
Gluten Free Yeast:
-DCL Saf T-58 dry ale yeast
-Lallemand's Danstar Windsor
-any other yeast known to be gluten free (not cultured in gluten-containing malt)


Can anyone help?[/list]

Try Upper Canada Malting, they will carry it but probably in large quantities. I get a lot of stuff from Ein Stein brewing in Oakville.

www.paddockwood.com for a mail order option.

La Messagre is currently available in the liquor store but it is very pricey and generally regarded as not very good.

And just be aware ahead of time that whatever you make is probably not going to taste much like the beers you are used to.

Good luck!

We tried the Quebec beer and given it's price and flavour we figured it might be worth the effort to brew at home. We have even considered brewing Mead as well. Since it is "naturally" gluten free...

Thanks :) I'll try out the link you mentioned!

Cheers,
Dave
