I have no desire to eat gluten-containing foods, but would like to enjoy REGULAR beer on occasion. Anyone have success with this and beer?

Alcohol cancels out the benefits of Gluten Cutter for me. I've had no luck in that arena but in regards to food containing gluten this has been great!

My husband has but does not push his luck. Limits himself to 1-2 only when socializing with friends. Still stays gluten free 95% of the time. He only uses this as a back up.

sorry that I haven't judged this product with only beer but do know that it really works against the problems that gluten gives me- this is wonderful to have on hand - especially when traveling or eating out where non-gluten alternatives are not available. ex: salad dressings, soy sauce, etc. but can't think of why this wouldn't work to assist you while having that "regular beer".- hope this helps and have a Blessed day- Carla k

Yes! That is the primary reason I got it. Every once in a while I want a beer or something that contains gluten. This works for me!

My husband is gluten intolerant and we use this tea for making kombucha. So I've never heard of a green tea having gluten in it, but he has no issues with it.

My rule of thumb is that if the product label doesn't say, "Gluten Free" then it ain't. I looked at all our labels for you and do not see that stated. That said, I am intolerant to gluten(s). We use the Men's and Women's Once Daily Alive along with their Protein Powder (the Pea one) and have not experienced any effects typically associated with gluten intolerance. The only thing I can suggest is for you to try to contact Nature's Way directly. I do this a lot with many products (Splenda and Gluten related) and have thus far always received an answer back. Hope that helps.

not gluten free!!!! has fermented wheat! and upon a call to NEW CHAPTER they told me it always had it but the FDA forced them to list it. This is not okay for gluten sensitive people and those with celiac disease!!!

Yes, I have made several loaves of gluten-free bread using recipes from the internet. Gluten free bread is much more dense and heavy, but tastes good. Definitely worth the effort if you have gluten problems.The little turning blade sticks in these loaves more than regular bread so you have to take it out when finished baking.

I bought this as a supplement for my dog. I just tasted it. I wouldn't say it's awful, actually pretty tasteless. But I don't have experience with what Brewers yeast should taste like. I'm assuming you mix it with something so I can't imagine it would alter a taste.

I am not much help in comparing this Solgar Brewer's yeast to that of Lewis Labs but Solgars brand has a nutty taste, blends well and has great nutritional value. I loved it. This is not a type of yeast for brewing beer. Hope this helps.

As the others said, in a nutshell : it is food for yeast. When brewing beer, you add yeast to a tea of grains so to speak. The yeast eat up all the sugars in the water from grain and convert it to alcohol and carbon dioxide. One thing we do know is that yeast can do this just fine from the tea. But, they are happier with a little extra nutrients that are not found in the grain tea. These are those nutrients. If you brew beer and use this, it will ferment faster, and a little healthier. Hope this helps.

I have had the Beertender for a few months and like you do not like skunky Heine from the bottle. Mine was a gift and I must say that it tastes much better from the keg. I particularly like the Light version. Buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond or somewhere else with a liberal return policy and try it. I think you'll be surprised; plus more beers are definitely on the way.

As far milling grain it works good for beer and for wheat im not sure get in contact with millars. Plus you don't want to grind up hops when putting in beer

According to the following sites, and others, barley should be avoided by persons on a gluten-free diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet and http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/glutenfreegrains/f/Is-Barley-Gluten-Free-Or-Does-Barley-Contain-Gluten.htm

I suppose you could. I use the Barley Malt Powder to feed yeast in a bread culture.After all, as they say bread is solid beer and beer is liquid bread.

No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated. It can still be rehydrated and grown with gluten-free flours and used to rise gluten-free breads, though, and the amount of gluten in the finished loaf would be miniscule - unless someone with severe celiac was going to eat it, any lighter gluten sensititivity would be fine. If you want a sourdough starter that is 100% gf, there is a good formula for the mix to "catch" yeast and maintain the starter in the book "The Vintage Remedies Guide to Bread" by Jessie Hawkins. Her gf blend uses quinoa, chickpea, and gf oat flour. Highly recommend the book if gf sourdough baking is your goal. No, this was created using the traditional flour and water, then dehydrated.

Yes with some reservations. If the wheat flour recipe calls for leaving, then buckwheat won't work because it is gluten free. Buckwheat is not really a wheat. It is a relative of rhubarb and completely distant from wheat flour. Since it has no gluten, it won't work with yeast to leaven bread. It also won't ferment to form any alcohol. It will work to make pancakes and waffles, biscuits and most other flour recipes that don't neat yeast to work. Won't make bread without adding flour.

I would say "no" since it doesn't indicate it on the jar. In looking up "gluten free" it states under "no" barley prevents it from being gluten free (Barley and malt, which is usually made from barley, malt syrup, malt extract, malt flavoring and malt vinegar.). The jar shows "yeast extract (barley)" under ingredients. Also, the jar shows "maltodextrin" which could fall under (1) malt and (2) Dextrin, (can be made from wheat) This is the best I can do.

I used Cider Vinegar the two times we made it while we were developing our own bread mix. Not sure regular vinegar would give the same chemical effect needed for Gluten Free. I have only seen Cider Vinegar used in Gluten Free. I have read that the vinegar breaks down alkaline in Gluten Free so the Yeast will work properly. I have also read that some people use white vinegar and add a pinch of sugar for the loss of sweetness in the vinegar change. You can always e-mail Bob's Red Mill on there website.

I purchased this for the non-GMO aspects of the product. There is no mention of a mixed environment for production (i.e. with wheat). Gluten intolerance vs. celiac requires different responses .... from the-gluten-free-chef.com;" Although corn, like wheat, rye and barley, does have a protein content it does not cause harmful effects to the intestines of someone with celiac disease. Therefore it is considered safe for celiacs to eat from a gluten perspective. However, many celiacs can have an intolerance to corn, so it is best not to rely on it too heavily as a substitute for wheat flour."
