Now that I have your attention...
I'm looking to brew a non alcoholic "beer". I'm not looking to debate semantics or definitions of beer. Just go with it.
Pregnant wife, curiosity, desire to drink good "beer" and be productive at work (self employed), driving through the country with a cold one sounds nice too. Don't overthink it.
My initial plan was to just not pitch yeast. Go through a regular brew day and go straight to keg after chilling with ice or more time on the plate chiller. Then quick carb (Blichman) and drink up. Tell me what I'm missing. I imagine any flavors imparted during fermentation would get wrecked by an alcohol boil off anyway.
Anybody want to talk me out of it before I waste a few hours on a weekend?
Wife wants a NA Pacifico clone. So I'm basically working with a barley/corn grain bill. Intending to do something more creative after this batch. I may brew an "IPA" day 1 as well.
Again I know beer must have yeast to be defined as beer. I'm just interested in taste notes and advice. Call it a barley fizzy tea if you'd like.
