Gluten Free Home Brewing Tutorial Series - The Mill

Proper grain milling is one of the most overlooked factors in successful gluten‑free brewing. In this video, we break down why milling matters, how it affects mash conversion and efficiency, and how to adjust your mill for gluten‑free grains.

Gluten‑free grains don’t behave the same as barley — they vary in hardness, size, and husk structure — and that means your milling approach needs to change too.

This video is part of our complete gluten‑free brewing series walking you through every step from equipment to fermentation.

In this video you’ll learn:
- Why milling matters in gluten‑free brewing
- How gluten‑free grains (rice, sorghum, millet, buckwheat) mill differently
- How to set up your mill for optimal crush
- Milling techniques to improve mash efficiency
- Tips to avoid stuck mash and extraction issues

If your gluten‑free brews have low efficiency or sluggish conversion, adjusting your mill could be the key.
