Utepils Brew

For my brother's birthday I decided to make a gluten free brew to celebrate one of the important guys in my life! This mix uses dry rice extract is the grain, with honey and sorghum to create a rich flavor. Gluten free home brewing is now a thing with the Honey Ale Kit from morebeer.com. Adding honey has the same effect as adding sugar, it increases the alcohol content but has no effect on the sweetness.

In Norwegian there is a word with no equivalent in English, Utepils. If you've ever had a beer on the beach then you understand the meaning of this word without needing to be Norwegian. I plan to enjoy this homemade gluten free brew at the beach with some friends at an end of summer party.

More to come on this project as we work on it!
