I’m not a chemist, nor do I have any type of science degree, but after a few minor mishaps over the years, I tend to stick the the rule of 3. I also think it depends on how gluten sensitive you are, and I believe that in Isla Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02751604639301054320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31945578.post-83315327365189557052018-01-21T08:36:35.668-05:002018-01-21T08:36:35.668-05:00Would you think the remaining gluten would be low ...Would you think the remaining gluten would be low (say, less than 5 ppm)?

Additionally, my father-in-law worked in organic chemistry for a pharmaceutical company as a lead chemist, and we agree wholeheartedly that the distillation process does not remove all gluten from the original batch.

The <b>general</b> rule of thumb is that distilled alcohols are gluten-free... distillation, by its very nature and process, can not pass gluten-proteins from the source-grains into the finished alcohol.
