Procedure:

Steep milled malt along with amylase enzyme in 2 gallons of water at 163.4F for 30 - 45 minutes. Use the appropriate amount of rice hulls to ensure circulation and filtration. Sparge malt with 170F water until water runs clear. Top kettle up to 6.5 gallon pre-boil size. Bring to boil.

Remove from heat and add rice syrup (this prevents scorching the syrup), return to boil allow to achieve hot break.

0.38 oz Centennial Hop (30 min)
0.38 oz Centennial Hops (7 min)
4 oz Honey (flameout; careful not to scorch)

1 pkg SafBrew Ale S-33 Yeast
Yeast nutrients per dosing and time addition recommendations

Recipe Note: This recipe was most likely developed between 2010-2014 before buckwheat, millet and rice malt was widely available. Therefore, it utilizes many gluten-free ingredients readily found at a LHBS or grocery store.
