Description:

Brew a full-flavored gluten-free pale ale at home using a blend of rice, millet, and buckwheat malts. After about 20 iterations to perfect the recipe, this gluten-free brew delivers a smooth, balanced beer with a rich aroma, subtle malt sweetness, and crisp finish. Featuring Cascade hops for bitterness and aroma, and SafAle S-04 yeast for a clean fermentation, it’s ideal for gluten-free homebrewers looking to craft a true-to-style, world-class beer. This is an updated recipe from the original found in 'Gluten-Free Brewing: Techniques, Processes, and Ingredients for Crafting Flavorful Beer' by Robert Keifer.
