The matriarch of the family who swaps kids with us has a problem with gluten. Thought I would try my hand at brewing a gluten-free beer.

NOTE: this beer may not be good for serious celiacs. The Naked Oats likely have gluten due to cross-contamination. I use the same brewing equipment for this beer that I do for all my gluten-full beers.

Brewing Notes: 10/23/2011 esheppy
Bought ingredients on Thursday. Made starter yesterday. Will brew today. Hope to have the Beer Model give these to G on 11/11, which is a pretty quick turn-around, but seems very possible with such a low gravity beer.

10/23/2011 Brew Day esheppy
Brewed this up. Got a much higher OG than expected. Not sure if I did not measure the syrup right or if it has a higher sugar content than I was expecting. The sample tasted pretty good. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Quick fermentation. Up to 68 this morning and appears to be just about done.

10/28/2011 esheppy
Cold crash today. Will probaby bottle tomorrow.

10/30/2011 Bottled (yesterday) esheppy
Bottled it up yesterday. Didn't take a gravity reading. Just forgot to do it and decided I didn't care THAT much after I had it all sugared up. I did try a sample. It seems more bitter than I intended, but we will see how it turns out.

Tried one. High carbonation. Nonexistent head. Centennial hop comes through with a orange flavor. Malt starts off sweet. There is a hint if a metalic flavor at the end. Not bad overall.

Giving away 10 today to the gluten - sensitive person we know.

Nice compliment from "Gretchen" on my facebook page: "I have a way for you to get rich....or just make a good friend happy! Make more of the gluten free beer you made for me! So so good....honestly better than what's out on the market. You could make a killing....or just sell your recipe to New Planet. I can connect you with the owners! In the meantime....will you PLEASE brew me another batch?! I've been savoring it and I'm on my last bottle." I guess I'll have to brew some more of this.

02/23/2012 esheppy
Got the Golden Naked Oats and the yeast and hops for another batch. Might brew it up tonight.
