Recipes - Hoppy to be Gluten-Free Pale Ale

(5 U.S. Gallons)
The higher BU's and aroma hops blend well with the sorghum flavor to make a beer reminiscent of Pale Ales brewed in Northern California.

BriesSweet™ White Sorghum Syrup is a gluten-free, 100% concentrated wort made from the unmalted grain, not the cane, of the white sorghum plant. BriesSweet™ White Sorghum Syrup was developed by our technical staff specifically for the production of gluten-free beer in 2005. It successfully mimics the brewhouse performance of liquid malt extract because it was developed to provide the proteins and amino acids necessary for yeast nutrition, head retention and body along with color and flavor.

BriesSweet™ White Sorghum Syrup is available directly from Briess or from an authorized distributor in five-gallon pails (60 pounds) or bulk.
