Making Gluten Free Root Beer

I have recently become interested in root beer after not having it for many years. However, the ingredients are problematic, so I decided to make my own. Some recipes have a kombucha-like fermentation process and some use Brewer's Yeast. I made the kombucha type but would like to try the beer type using brewers yeast because the kombucha style was not very fizzy. Some Brewer's Yeasts are taken as a supplement and inactive, ie no good for brewing. All of the active brewer's yeasts I have found are not gluten free. Does anyone know of a products that is an active brewer's yeast that is also gluten free?

Yes but I don't think you can brew beer or root beer from that kind. ??

Why not? It is brewer's yeast. I'll admit that I'm no expert on brewing root beer, however, I did spend ~3 years perfecting a malted sorghum/rice gluten-free beer back in the 90's.

From another gluten free site: "The term brewer’s yeast can refer to both the live yeast used to make beer and the spent yeast that is a by-product of the beer-brewing process." If you continue to Google here and there, you find out that only the live yeast can brew beer. Most brewers yeast sold is used as a supplement and is not active and cannot brew anything.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
