Can't help you with your ingredients but I'd try to get in touch with Scott at Scott Brewing as i know he's a coeliac and developed his own GF beer recipes from scratch.

I'd be interested in your recipes too. Do you use sorghum at all? Guess its another hard to find ingredient.

heres the recipe of the one that dosnt scare me;

yeast starter:

4 table spoons sorghum

2 cups boiling water

4 teaspoons Safale US-04

wort

11.5 l water

2.5 cups toasted buckwheat

4.5 cups sorghum extract

hops

4 tablespoons @ 60m riwaka

2 tablespoons @ 20m riwaka + .5 teaspoon irish moss

 2 tablespoons @ 2m saaz

bottling

8 tablespoons of corn sugar

let me know if its missing anything. Sorghum is actually easy to find through brewshop located in hamilton. i finally found a place that sells millet only one type though

If you search the site I started a thread about Gluten in beer. Basically my father is a coeliac and has no problem drinking beer but there were some good answers to that on the thread.

If you're in Auckland, Brewers Coop have gluten free options to hand;  sorghum extract, brown rice syrup, and (last time I talked to them) they even had some sorghum malt bought in.
