Mangrove Jack's Gluten Free Pale Ale

[Bob]

Has anyone tried Mangrove Jack's GF pale ale and tested it on a live coeliac?

I understand that it's made from 'de-glutenised' barley malt. I'm hoping they have a process more effective than just adding brewers clarex/clarity ferm.

I have tried adding clarity ferm to standard extract kits but still get a coeliac reaction. The flavour of Sorghum beer just doesn't do it for me either. 

It would be great if Mangrove Jack's really have a revolutionary product.

Hi Bob,

I'm also looking for a good gluten free beer recipe, as my misses is a little sensitive to it. Is there anything you have found that is decent?

[Bob]

If your wife is gluten intolerant rather than coeliac you could try adding clarity ferm to your standard brew. I've read many reports of this working well for intolerance. Gluten free (as opposed to gluten reduced) is a problem I've yet to solve. I'm currently brewing a Sorghum based kit but am not too optimistic based on the flavour after the boil.

Thanks. What does the clarity ferm do to the flavour?

[Bob]

Nothing at all. For more information read Chris Hamilton's Clarity Ferm experiment.
