Beer Style: English Ordinary Bitter, Classic English Pale Ale
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
Adapted from Back Bench Bitter, this all-grain recipe brings classic English bitter character to gluten-free homebrewing. Pale millet and specialty rice malts create a balanced malt base with caramel and toasted bread notes, while traditional English hops deliver firm bitterness and earthy aroma. Boosted for proper strength and fermented with a clean English ale yeast, this gluten-free beer proves that brewing gluten-free can still deliver a true pub-style bitter experience.
