Malt and Grains

As the interest in novel beer products has grown, especially gluten-free beers, new grain materials have been incorporated into the brewing process. The primary gluten-free grain used to produce beer has been sorghum. Interest in producing beer from additional grains has grown and commercial malters are beginning to supply other novel grains. This study is an initial investigation of beer brewed from malted quinoa.
