First GF IPA

[jtmenzel]

I've been making the transition to gluten free for health reasons. I made a GF coffee chocolate stout that was decent, but needed a hop fix. I came up with this recipe to use some of the mosaic hops I have. I just kegged and carbed it this week. Tried it tonight and was very happy with it. Next time I may up the IBU's. Very fruity and just enough body.
Millet is from Grouse.
8 oz malted millet
5 oz light crystal millet
4 oz medium crystal millet
8 oz flaked rice
2.25 lbs sorghum syrup (15 min)
1.33 brown rice syrup
8 oz honey
2 oz maltodextrin
2 oz medium candi syrup (110L)

.3 oz Columbus 60
.10 oz Columbus 15
.5 oz mosaic 15
1 oz mosaic 0
.5 citra 0
.5 mosaic dry hop
.5 citra dry hop

Curious to know what size batch this is and some other details like OG, FG and whether you mashed or steeped grain.

Sorry, had it in screen shots that didn't attach.
OG 1053
FG 1008
Steeped the grain.

Nice! Looks like a good recipe! Aggressive flavoring and aroma hop additions.

Did you test the gravity or go by the program calcs? Looks like they may be giving a little more gravity contribution from the steeped grain then I would expect, but I have not used flaked rice. My steeped millet and buckwheat ended up giving about 8 or 9 gravity points if I remember correctly.

I adjust the recipe to show actual gravity. I use both a refractometer and hydrometer. I did a long steep and amylase enzyme.

Forgot to correct my FG, it was actually 1011.
Next time I may try a Bells Two hearted version of this with all Centennial.

I brought this to my local homebrew club meeting along with my gf oatmeal chocolate stout and both were a hit. No one believed me it was gluten free.

Just what I was looking for! My wife's best friend is gluten free and I made her a pale ale and her favorite part was the hops so I'm going to try this soon!

I decided to brew this again since my keg was getting low. Only change I'm going to make is up it to 5 gallons so it will last longer. Hop flavor and aroma is still awesome.
