Extract - Gluten-Free "Fat Tire" Amber Ale
Recipe Type: Extract Yeast: Fermentis Safeale US-05 Yeast Starter: n/a Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: n/a Batch Size (Gallons): 5 Original Gravity: 1.065 Final Gravity: 1.015 IBU: n/a Boiling Time (Minutes): 85 Color: 12 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 120 @ 75F Additional Fermentation: n/a Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): n/a Tasting Notes: "Full body, slightly sweet, nice finish, and gorgeous caramel color. NICE kick too."
Wrote this recipe for a celiac friend who has a hard time finding "good" tasting gluten-free beer. I brewed this recipe with similar notes to New Belgium's "Fat Fire" Amber Ale. The friends said it came extremely close, suprisingly for the fact that it was brewed gluten-free.
6.5 lbs. Briess White Sorghum Syrup (45 high)
2 lbs. BriesSweetTM Brown Rice Syrup (45 high)
4 oz. Grandma's Original Unsulphured Molasses
1oz. Willamette Hops
.5oz. Fuggle Hops
Dissolve Sorghum, Brown Rice Syrup, and Molasses into boil.
Hop for 60 mins with 1 oz. of Willamette Hops..
Hop for 20 mins with .25oz of Fuggle Hops.
Add in yeast nutrients.
Hop for another 5 mins with .25oz of Fuggle Hops.
Cool and transfer to fermenter (don't forget to add the rest of the water!!!) and pitch Fermentis Safeale US-5 Yeast.
It took me four months to bottle this batch, but I'm sure you could bottle after four weeks.
=) Enjoy!!! |
