Vote on professional gluten tests

I recently had a chat with Karlo, a gluten intolerant visitor of my website from the Netherlands, who came up with the idea of testing beers in professional laboratories with professional methods, like the Competitive or Sandwich ELISA test. Compared to the home test kits we use there could benefits in getting certified results and have comparable results to the tests we made already. There is of course controversy which test method (e.g. Competitive vs. Sandwich vs. Lateral Flow Trough) or antibody (Skerritt vs. R5 vs. G12) is the best. However, the more and the more professional we test the better results we get. And now the downside: the costs are very high: between 100-110 USD (85-95 EUR) per beer per test. Nutrilab in the NL offer such services: https://www.nutrilab.nl/en

Below you find a vote on whether you would be willing to donate money for tests and what would be your limits.

In case of a positive result of the vote we can start some sort of crowdfunding and collect a certain amount of money to be used for the tests. We don’t know yet how to decide on the beer to be tested – most likely per vote again.

Please note, this is a non-profit site and non-profit idea. All the money would be used for tests. Use the comment function for discussions.

How much money would you donate for professional beer tests on gluten?

  • Between 10 and 25 USD (38%, 25 Votes)

Soon I will be travelling to China and as usual I will test some local beer. And I will not only test how they taste but also what gluten concentration they have. As I am little short in test kits at the moment I will test one Chinese beer and you can vote which one it should be.

No guarantee that I will get the winning beer but I will try my best. I have picked mainstream beers which should be available somewhere in Shanghai so it should work out. I excluded Tsingtao which I tested back in 2014 already. Find some useful information about the top Chinese brands here.

Please vote for the Chinese beer you want me to test next: Harbin, Snow, Yanjing, or Zhujiang

Which Chinese beer do you want me to test next?

  • Yanjing (35%, 15 Votes)
  • Zhujiang (26%, 11 Votes)

I tested a number of Spanish beers already – Ambar Especial just last year, the Canarian Dorada and the gluten free labelled Estrella Daura Damm which I tested positive, though. This time I give the regular Estrella Damm a chance, beside the famous San Miguel from Madrid and another beer from Barcelona with increasing sales called Moritz and named after the founder Louis Moritz Trautmann.

Heineken is the most popular Dutch beer. I tested Heineken already some time ago but on a 40 ppm threshold. Don’t ask me why I have done that. It was my first test with GlutenTox Home so I played around with the levels and thresholds I guess but more useful are the 20 or 5 ppm thresholds.

Anyway, this is the chance to get Heineken tested again on a 5 ppm threshold if it wins the poll. Opponents are Grolsch and Alfa. Please vote below.

  • Heineken (55%, 67 Votes)
  • Grolsch (29%, 35 Votes)

There are plenty of excellent beers available in Czech Republic. The best selling beer within the country is Gambrinus -the god of beer- which I already tested in 2013. The most famous beer of course is Budweiser due to the popularity of its American brother which only have the same name but nothing else in common. Pilsner Urquell is a famous Czech export beer whilst Staropramen is the favourite beer in the capital Prague. Please vote which of these Czech beers you want me to test next.

Hi all, I started this website one year ago and actually did not expect this enormous feedback. It is amazing what happened during the past 12 months and I am very happy that this website is useful for so many people.

At the beginning the majority of the visitors were German (mainly myself I suppose) but it changed dramatically. Most of the visitors are now from the US were the demand for such tests seems to be very high, but I also have lots of visitors from the UK, Australia (thanks Les 😉 ), Canada and the Scandinavian countries.

I tested 18 beers so far (please see here an overview of all beers I tested) and I learned a lot during the last year about test kits, antibodies, beer filtration methods etc.

There a more than 10.000 page views per month so I consider to place some little ads just to get some money back which I would reinvest in test kits. I think about using Google AdSense but I will not do affiliate marketing as I want to stay independent. There will also be no pop-ups or something annoying for visitors, just little ads in the sidebar and footer of the page.

But I don’t want to scare you off with the ads so I ask you before I do that:

Would you still visit my website when I place some ads?

Poll: Which Asian beer do you want me to test next?

By

On 11/07/2014

In Polls

Asian beers are believed to have low gluten as they often use rice as one major ingredient and barely malt only to give a typical beer colour. The rate of people with Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity in Asia is lower than in Europe or US mainly because of rice as the main dietary staple and simply the fact that it is underdiagnosed unknowingly. But it becomes more prevalent in countries like China and Thailand with the adoption of western lifestyle. Not only for people who live in Asia but also for travelers a gluten test of your favourite Asian beer might be useful. Please vote below which of the following four famous Asian beers  you want me to test next:

Chang: from Thailand
Singha: from Thailand
Tsingtao: from China
Tiger: from Singapore

Which Asian beer do you want me to test next?

  • Tsingtao (33%, 51 Votes)
  • Singha (27%, 41 Votes)
  • Tiger (25%, 39 Votes)
  • Chang (14%, 22 Votes)
