Description:
This gluten-free homebrew recipe showcases a balanced blend of gluten-free grains and hops to produce a satisfying all-around gluten-free beer. Featuring Red-Wing Amber Millet Malt which has a robust flavor of caramel, toffee, raisin, plum, and breakfast cereal. It finishes with a medium body and perfectly balanced sweetness. With a SRM of 30-35, Red-Wing Amber offers a deep ruby red color that we love, and fits perfectly in the malt bill for an amber, red, brown, and more. Great for beginner all-grain and experienced brewers alike, it’s a simple yet flavorful option for brewing gluten-free beer at home.
Note the mash regime and enzyme used in this recipe differs from the brewing recommendations that GFHB currently endorse. Our experience using the enzymes that we sell and provide brewing tutorials should yield higher efficiency than the 65% noted for this recipe.

Procedure:
● Enzyme Note: Ceremix® Flex can replace the listed enzymes; in a rising step mash they increase mash efficiency and may alter target beer parameters ●
168F target mash temperature held with high temp alpha for 30 minutes.
Add 1-2qt of 60F water per 15lbs of grist to lower the mash temperature to between 155F-158F then add Glucoamylase and hold for another 30 minutes.
GFHB recommends using the enzymes and brewing recommendations in our tutorials which should result in higher efficiency. This would result in either higher ABV or a reduced grain bill.
