Notes

Trying for my first Low Alcohol beer. Would like 0.5% if possible but may struggle to get it as low as that.

Method for reduced ABV
Small grain bill.
Mill the grains a bit Course
Mash Temp 80 C which will reduce conversion
Weyermann Malts have less converted starches.
Lallemand Windsor yeast also convert less sugars than others.
Hop choice to replace loss of flavour from reduced grains.

Achieved
81% efficiency. Was hoping for much less.
26L
OG 1027
FG 1016
ABV 1.4% I was aiming for less than 1%.

Light fruity looking colour. Smells lovely and fruity. Thin on flavour but light and refreshing.
