Crafted Without Gluten
How did we do it?
Choosing suitable grains - The first step is creating a recipe, and we found that millet, buckwheat, and oats would give us the right flavor, color, and mouthfeel. We sourced these from facilities like Grouse Malt House, which specializes in gluten-free ingredients.
We make all of our beers, except this one, with barley which is the gluten component, and since gluten is in our facility, we are not calling this beer gluten-free. However, we took many precautions to consider gluten sensitivities, including extra deep cleaning in our brewery.
Although our fermentation tanks, packaging line, and all other equipment the beer touches is rigorously cleaned and inspected after each beer, the brewhouse typically receives less attention. In this case, we made sure every inch of those tanks was spotless, including removing the lauter screens to scrub each one and ensure no piece of grain was left behind.
Finally, when we transferred the finished beer into the brite tank for packaging, we added a product called Clarex. Because it contains an enzyme that breaks down gluten, it is often used by breweries that can claim that their beer is gluten-reduced. We decided to add it to our beer, which was made without gluten, just to be sure.
