Beer recipe - Low Alcoholic Beer
| ABV 0.5% | Color 70 EBC | Bitterness* 15 IBU |
Description
Producing a quality non-alcoholic beer with the same attributes as an alcoholic beer is still a huge challenge. Thus, we use a special yeast capable of consuming only the simplest sugars in the wort, producing a low alcohol level and typical fermentation aromas. And on top of it, we make use of specialty malts and adjuncts to bring this beer to life.
With a dark colour and light body, this beer has a slightly malty aroma and taste with notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee. A great alternative for those looking for a non-alcoholic and refreshing sensory experience.

Step 3: Fermentation and Maturation
Cool down the wort to 18°C and pitch the yeast.
As the beer at the end of fermentation will contain a lot of residual fermentable sugars, it is mandatory to pasteurize the beer after packaging (between 80 and 120 PU). This yeast is not suitable for cropping and repitching.
Ferment at 18°C. Once the fermentation is done (FG reached and off flavours removed – about 5 days), drop the temperature to 8°C and rest for 1 day and then harvest the yeast. Drop the temperature to 2°C and rest for 7 days.

Step 4: Cold Aging and Packaging
Cold age the beer at -1°C for 5 days, remove the residual yeast, and carbonate until 5.0 g/L of CO2. The beer is ready for packaging and drinking. Enjoy!
*For refermentation in the bottle, add brewing sugar and SafAle F-2.
