Aside from my experience getting sick off of it, and my kid's, nothing. But as a celiac I know the feeling I get from it. Oats though don't cause me a problem, even regular ones, but unless their gluten free they affect my kid.

Here is the original Pale Ale that I want on making for the summer. 8.5 lbs 2-row 1.5 lbs Honey Malt 0.5 lbs Crystal 40L 1oz Amarillo 60min 2oz Hallertauer 5min Wyeast 1272 OG 1.053 FG 1.013 SRM 7.1 IBU 33 Planning on single infusion mash and single stage fermentation...

I question whether it is GF. Quinoa isn't GF naturally. They would have to be ordering a special type that has been modified to remove the gluten.

according to MNBrewers the answer is yes, but they have no details listed any where.

It will be steeped. I can drop the 80L and I can get Munich LME. Switching Sugar is possible to.

I was planning on the 1056 to get a clean taste. Going dry would work just fine. As the 1056 would get pricy. That would work just fine. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll bookmark it for future use.

Thanks Revvy I'll look into that. usfmikeb OG is 1.090 and target is 1.010 and yes it is a 5 gallon batch.

I'm doing my first high alcohol extract and with a two year old in the house I can't really grow the yeast to the right amount. So I'm asking if using two packages of Wyeast smack-packs would be an effective alternative.
