I want to make a beer that's dry and easy to drink. However, I also want it to have a sweet flavor (in order to balance a sourness I'll be adding) but without the the heavy body from high mash temps or lactose additions.
Is that possible to achieve without just dumping in artificial sweetener? My last attempt was mashed at 145F but used 16% crystal 60L, had an OG of 1.055, IBU of 5.0 and I used 8oz lactose on bottling day and there was still barely any sweetness!
Any other ideas?
