Gluten Free Brewing

These are temporary web pages about brewing gluten free beer. They will be moved to the Australian Craft Brewing website in the next month or so. The Intro to Gluten Free Beer and Coeliac Disease page describes why you would want to make gluten free beer, a bit of background, and a brief explanation of Coeliac Disease.

The Malting Gluten free Grains explains how to malt gluten free grains, equipment for doing it, the basic properties of sorghum and buckwheat malt, and gives a modified Hot Water Extract test for testing gluten free malt.

The Brewing gluten free beer page goes through the ingredients you can use for making gluten free beer, explains why you need to use a Schmitz process decoction and how to do it, and gives step by step instructions on brewing.

The Recipes page gives some recipes that I have used for brewing gluten free beer.

Last, the Fast track guide to brewing with Sorghum Malt, is just that. Giving a quick summary of what is different about using sorghum malt for brewing beer.

Please note: Sorghum malt and other gluten free beer brewing ingredients are available from Grain and Grape, 5/280 Whitehall St., Yarraville, VIC 3013, Ph:(03) 9687 0061. They can also handle postal and internet orders and deliver Australia wide.
