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

Your best option for it is to make PITO (Czech method with minimum gear requirements).

In short you make low OG beer let it ferment for few days in 6°C. Then cool it with yeasts to 3-4°C and pressurise it and let it for few weeks (in keg or something). Get rid of yeasts and drink.

This beer then has about 0.5 - 1 % ABV.
