Pilum Imperial IPA is a gluten-free all-grain beer kit designed for high-gravity brewing, delivering elevated alcohol content, assertive hop character, and a full, structured body. Built for brewers who want intensity and impact, this recipe produces a powerful yet balanced imperial IPA experience in a gluten-free format. The grain bill combines pale millet, biscuit rice malt, and goldfinch millet malts to create a rich, layered foundation with enough malt depth to support a higher ABV while still finishing clean. Columbus and Simcoe hops drive the profile with bold resinous bitterness, dank pine, and vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes. The hop character is expressive and forward, designed to stand up to the elevated gravity while maintaining clarity and drinkability. Pilum is ideal for homebrewers seeking a high-impact gluten-free beer that delivers both complexity and power in every pour.

Product Reviews

Pilum imperial IPA is totally awesome.
By on 12/31/2019

This is my first all-grain gluten free recipe. Millet was a pain to crush but managed to get a decent crush after three passes. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the wort was during recirculation. I could taste the conversion - tasted at dough in, tasted at 60 minutes, tasted at 120 minutes. First runnings were slightly under expected but considering expected OG is 1.078 and mine was 1.074, I'm happy. I was concerned that a single yeast packet wouldn't be enough to get to expected FG and I couldn't make a gluten free starter so, had to go with it. Surprisingly, FG was 1.012 and expected was 1.017. Tasting gravity sample, this is amazing for gluten free. I look forward to my next GF venture!!


Well-integrated, hoppy, lots of flavor

I had this beer recently. It is very well-balanced hops to malt. I tried the imperial version with the extra sorghum which raised the alcohol. It was not “boozy.” The malt had a nice roast flavor to it. The IBUs are over 100, but the bitterness pairs well with the malt flavors of bran and caramel.
