Beer Style: American-Lager/Ale or Creame Ale
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
Part ale, part lager, this American Cream Ale–style recipe is adapted for brewing gluten-free beer at home. Inspired by pre-Prohibition American brewing, it uses corn adjuncts and gluten-free pale malts to create a light, dry, highly carbonated beer with both ale and lager character. Warm fermented and cold conditioned, this gluten-free cream ale delivers a clean, sparkling finish that highlights classic American brewing—without the gluten.
