Created with BeerSmith
BeerSmith calculates the ABV @ 2.3%. But I doubt anyone could tell by taste alone.
I'll be trying to stockpile some of this for those all day outside, days. I wish I had more in the pipeline now.

Just brewed Plumber Bob's light amber ale today, will pitch tomorrow and let you know how it goes in a few weeks.
Anyone have a tried and true 1030 Czech recipe? One standard Czech pale lager style is 8 plato (~1032) called Lehký (Light). Plus this is a chance to bump this excellent thread! Thanks in advance.
Is it as easy as it sounds? Is there anything weird to take into account with the grain bill or hopping? This sounds like a winner to me! 1.055-60 is easy for me, then splitting into 2 fermenters - 10 gallons when I couldn't do that much before and no debating whether to go clean or funky?!?something i often do is brew a 5g beer at 1060+ then dilute by half, then hop and ferment each half differently. great for kegging!

I just brewed one for the first time, bottled a week ago. I don’t like a lot of bitterness but found this one to be fine for me so far. Used Weyermann oak smoked wheat, looking forward to seeing how the flavor plays out. At bottling was a pleasant smokiness, not harsh. OG came in a little high at 1.034, FG 1.008. Did as a fun 1G experiment. If the smokiness isn’t off-putting I’ll work on the water profile next time.That said, a good 100% wheat Polish grodziskie is 2.5%ABV or so with a bittering ratio at, or above, an American IPA.

sour is on my list next, something tart and refreshing for summer lawnmowing. recipe to share?Sub'd; brewed a 1030 kettle sour a few weeks ago. Turned out oh so tasty!
No fan of sours but that thick foam makes me jealous. Looks great.
Do you know any more about jonscrazybrews? His experiments sound interesting but I can't find any results on his blog. Would be nice to find out if it's worth pursuing.Back to formulating some of these beers.
Has anyone tried cold mashing/extraction? I’m looking to go pretty low (like 1.5%abv) on either a Belgian table or hoppy beer with a unique yeast.

It’s winter, so temps are good for this method.

Also it’s been mentioned above but has anyone brewed Nanny State? The hops are way out of wack but the malt bill looks interesting. I have some Amarillo and Azzacca in hand, might pick up some Simcoe and use that combo.
A British Milk Stout serves as the base recipe, where a significant portion of oats and milk sugar provide a creamy sweetness. The beer is then blended in the cask with a lightly roasted, fruity Colombian coffee.
Non alcoholic as in zero alcohol or sub 1%? Please explain how you got what looks to be mighty tasty. Thanks!Two non alcoholic beers, one dumper (too much hop) and one to throw back (quite nice).
