i have made a dare for myself, brew under 5% alcohol only.
but a lot of recipes i find interesting are way over the limit. so i started to look after what options i would have to make a beer that looks like the one i have found but are less alcoholic. (it also not so fun only having big heavy beers to drink on a hot day.)
i found this artical
byo tastes great less alcohol
i have found a recipe made from another member (sorry i forgot you name and dont have the link anymore) that i find tempting and followed the artical.
so the recipe looks like this
Daddy - Son
82% pilsner 73%
5% chocolade 7%
5% roasted barley 7%
3% cara munich 1 5%
3% pale chocolate 5%
3% special B 5%
WLP001
1107 OG 1044
1026 FG 1011
10.6% ABV 4,3%
76 ibu 30
0,71 bu:gu 0,68
i think i will mash the big beer around 65 (149f) and the small high as 69 (156f)
but would like to hear if somebody else have any experience in scaling down a big beer, but not just make it thin and watery? because im not trying to make a Bud
