PHAT (Pretty Hopped And Tempting) Tire Gluten Free Ale
Disclaimer: Fat Tire is one of my wife’s favorite beers and she wanted me to try something in that direction. I did a batch version with influence from other posts on HomeBrewTalk. Our preferences are very very different. I don’t care for it and she LOVED it, so I am posting it. I like pilsners, pale ales etc., what I would call “simple beers”. She likes sharp complex flavors, ambers, darks and super hopped beers. Sorry, no fancy tasting notes. If you are more in the same camp as my wife, you might like it. Here it is:
3.5 Gallon Batch (did this size batch so that, after racking off the trub, I would fill 3 gallon carboy and limit air space in neck)
0.7 lb Millet Crystal from CMC steeped in 3 quarts water at 160F for 30 min.
Full volume boil
3.3 lb Briessweet gluten free sorghum syrup at 60 min
1.0 lb Belgian Candy Syrup (45L) at 60 min
6 oz Maltodextrin at 60 min
1.5 oz Grandma’s old fashioned unsulfured molasses at 20 min
1 lb Buckwheat honey at 0 min
All Cascade hops (7.1% alpha acid)
O.73 oz at 60 min
0.35 oz at 15 min
0.70 oz at 0 min (allow hops to steep 15 min before active temp reduction)
1.25 oz dry hop in primary after 4 days
1 whirlfloc tablet at 0 min
3 teaspoons yeast nutrient
Safale US-05 yeast hydrated in 100F water for 20 min
Note: added water at end to compensate for boil off and to hit desired OG
OG = 1.060
FG = 1.010
Fermented at 75F
1 week in primary
2 additional weeks in secondary
