Description:
This Helles-style recipe is built for experimenting with gluten-free homebrewing. Light in color but full-bodied, it uses gluten-free malts chosen to recreate the soft, bready, slightly sweet character of a classic German Helles. Simple malt and noble hop choices make this an ideal gluten-free beer for dialing in mash techniques while brewing a clean, balanced lager-style beer at home.

- 0.8 OZ Noble Hallertauer Mittelfruh, Mt. Hood, Tettnanger, Spalt, Perle or Northern Brewer hops
