Non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good (vlemmy.net)

Hi everyone, I've come seeking your wisdom.

I love brewing beers. Im also, apparently, irresponsible when it comes to alcohol consumption. So I decided thotmi wont have alcohol in my house anymore. But I also want to still brew, and enjoy my brew.

So, is there a good way of de-alcoholizing the brew after it fetments, such that the flavor wont be impacted, or will be minimally impacted?.

Thank you, oh wise Lemmy hive mind

That would also remove some actual beer - what freezes off tends to be water and whatever can be solid at that temperature. Things like sugars giving body to the beer and what has a higher affinity to the concentrated alcohol solution would remain in the liquid phase.

For example, this is how brewdog does their very high alcohol beers like tactical nuclear penguin.

Though I would recommend to the OP to check out the brewdog recipe for Nanny State. That could be a starting point.
