OK so I'm looking to brew a really low alcohol beer under 2%abv. I am thinking that a mild would be the best option. Here's the recipe so far:
50% Maris Otter
25% Dark Crystal
12.5% Chocolate
12.5% Oats
5.5IBU Styrian Golding @ 60min
4.0IBU Styrian Golding @ 10min
Windsor Ale Yeast
OG: 1.018
FG: 1.004 (I would expect this to be a bit higher)
ABV: 1.8%
Does anyone have any tips on how to brew this beer to have the body and flavour of a normal strength beer? Caramelisation of the wort might help, mashing high will obviously be important, any other ideas? I will be kegging this beer btw.
Cheers
