Suggestions for GF Ginger Beer

I'm a new brewer who wants to make a GF ginger beer for my wife, and I'd appreciate recipe suggestions.

What I'm after is a refreshing, pale- to amber-colored ale with mild hop bitterness and a touch of sweetness, nothing cloying. What grain bill, hops and yeast would you knowledgeable people recommend? Bear in mind that my wife isn't celiac, just a little gluten intolerant.

Since this would be my first experience with malting and mashing, it would be nice if I could make this a partial mash beer. In that case, what sort of extract would suit my plan? And what quantity?

Any help would be very welcome. Thanks.

I have never done GF, but am in oly. I've heard of some stuff in the gluten free area. I dont know much about it though. Just saw you are in Oly and wanted to say Hi.

Hello, djsethall!

Thanks *very* much for the suggestions, dkershner! I'll take that list to my LHBS and see if they can help me. Not sure if they carry GF extracts, but it's worth a try. I'm going to do an extract stout for myself next, but I'll after that I'll get to work on my wife's ginger beer, and let you know how it turns out.

You might also want to look into making real historical ginger beer, which is not really a beer at all. It's made with only ginger root, lemon juice, sugar and ginger beer plant. Check out recipes and info here
