Here is my recipe for a GF American Pale Ale
This recipe does not involve malting your own grains or buying exotic ingredients over the internet. All the sugars in this recipe are ones that you can find in your kitchen (if you can find sorghum syrup you can just substitute with more dark corn syrup).
GF Cascade APA
2.50 lb Light corn syrup
1.50 lb Sorghum syrup
1.00 lb Clover honey
0.50 lb Dark corn syrup
0.50 lb Corn sugar
0.25 lb Dark brown sugar
1.00 oz Cascade hops (60 min)
1.00 oz Cascade hops (30 min)
0.50 t Irish Moss (15 min)
6.00 oz Malto-Dextrin (5 min)
1.00 oz Cascade hops (0 min)
1.00 oz Cascade hops (dry hop)
1 pkg Nottingham yeast
OG: 1.042
FG: 1.006
Brew it up just like an extract brew. Heat up 2 gallons of water. Add sugars and bring to a boil then start your 60 min hop schedule. Cool the wort and dilute up to 5 gallons and pitch your yeast.
You can expect this beer to have a hazy orange color with a nice citrusy hop aroma and flavor. Really the only thing lacking from this beer is good mouth feel. Maybe more malto-dextrin is needed.
