Gluten Free/Reduction

[Deathstar]

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to remove gluten from our brews.
The wife who like to partake in drinking my beer has become gluten intolerant. So I need to find a way to easily remove the gluten from the brew. Thankfully it’s an intolerance rather than an allergy.

Advice will be greatly appreciated.

I use this stuff: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/nbs-clarity-15ml

I use it for the clarity effect rather than the gluten reduction, but IIRC the level to which it typically reduces gluten is consistent with the food labelling requirements for “gluten free”

Brilliant, thanks @The-Engineer-That-Brews

it’s going to be fun trying to measure out 0.5ml tomorrow.
Never got a syringe, but have a 5ml one.

Bin the syringe, unless you want an infection. Sanitise an 1/8 tsp spoon, and pour it in that from the container

Edit: - just seen you didn't get a syringe lol

You could weigh out 0.5g onto a sterile plate etc if you have good scales.

I have used White labs Clarity ferm for several years comes in a commercial strength as well which works out cheaper. Different doses to reduce the gluten and haze issue depending on the gravity and hoppiness of the beer.

I would use the 5ml one and my eyes

Well I used it, and it’s been a success. Wife had a pint out of the barrel when bottling with no negative effects.

Thanks @The-Engineer-That-Brews

I also got some small stainless measuring spoons to make ease of addition easier. I expect an overdose by a little will not have any negative impact.

Flippin' brilliant - great news. What style of beer? I'm guessing not a Weizen...

It was a bit of a hotch potch porter. Using up some older grains rather than binning them.

I've been using a 2ml syringe with no ill effects, I pull it apart and dump it in my bucket of Star San with fermenter bits whilst I cool the wort, then squirt 0.5-1ml in just before I start filling the FV.
