Whoa, a lightning bolt from the sky.....
Let me thank you for writing the book that gave me the right attitude..... DWHAHB is etched in gold around here.
Pleasantries over.....
My friend has been recently diagnosed as a celiac, and yes I have read all the disclaimers, and yes I know that celiacs are all different and some can tolerate some gluten, and some go toxic when someone bakes a loaf of bread within a 5 miles radius and yes, you are not a doctor nor are you guaranteeing anything to be etc. etc.....
That said.....
He is willing to be a guinea pig. So, in the last issue of Zymurgy you have that recipe that caught my eye. I understand the concept. Not gluten free, but gluten removed. The clarity ferm drops out the proteins, including the ones that kill the celiacs.
Now the question (yes I know, finally)
The recipe, aside from the fact that it has no other grains than barley, really has no impact on the concept, right? I mean I can take my house APA (some 2 row, some crystal malt and some carapils, with simcoe and cascade, wye 1056) and as long as I am using the clarity ferm according to the instructions the result may/should be a negative presence with a gluten test, am I correct?
And I did order the EZ Gluten test.....
Plan is to do a 10 gallon batch of a beer I am familiar with, then do one bucket "normal" and one bucket with the clarity ferm. Run the test on both, and, put them side by side for taste comparison..... Sounds like a plan?
Thanks...
(And thank you, you know who you are, for getting the man's attention.....
