The topic of gluten free beers post up here from time to time. Clarity Ferm has been mentioned as a product that supposedly "removes" gluten from beer. Chris Colby's Beer and wine Journal has published the most extensive test results I've seen, both of the ability to remove gluten and on flavor impact. Excellent info....https://beerandwinej...arity-ferm-iii/

this sounds like a real game changer. i've never had a decent gluten free beer that I know of.

Very cool. Girl I work with has a gluten sensitivity and she LOVES beer. I'll send this to her.

Confirmed. She already uses it in her homebrew. She claims it makes a world of difference, but it's kind of expensive.

It is not that expensive. $3-$5 per 5 gal. If I couldn't drink beer, it would be money well spent. $0.10 max per beer. Only mic would think that is pricey!

lol
$5 per batch is a significant increase in per batch cost in my world, over 7 or 8 batches that's a sack of 2-Row

For sure, but my point was that if your options were no beer, or slightly more expensive beer, the cost, at least IMO, is negligible.

even my cheap ass agrees with you.

She was happy to see some sort of scientific evidence that it was working and not just her anecdotal evidence. She said that she doesn't tell people that it's in the beer and no one ever even thinks to say it's gluten free and since shes a good brewer they often like the beer.

I think I saw it for as low as $2 a batch in 5 packs, that's not bad really.

this sounds like something ken would like to use as well for clarity.

yeah - that's what B3 said in the product description. that's all I was going on - not actual experience.

Girl I work with says that it does help clear the beer. Maybe not clearer, but faster.

I don't recall...maybe. I don't seem to have a problem with chill haze so maybe that's why I never noticed an effect on clarity.wasn't it intended to remove chill haze?

From White Labs
Chill haze in beer results from the precipitation of complexed polyphenols and proteins during cold storage. This haze develops over time and, initially, is reversible (haze disappears when the temperature of the beer increases). Eventually this chill haze can become permanent.
Clarity Ferm will prevent the precipitation of complexed polyphenols and proteins by hydrolyzing the sensitive (haze-active) polypeptides in the region where such hydrogen bonding occurs. The specificity of the enzyme ensures that no other beer parameters are affected.
