No/Low Alcohol Brewing

Here we gather all the products you might need to brew your NOLO (low alcohol and/or low carb beer).

Yeast for low alcohol beer

The SafBrew LA series from Fermentis and LoNa™ from Lallemand are yeast strains specifically developed for the production of low and no alcohol beers.

Additives

No-Low Zyme is an enzyme that converts fermentable maltose into non-fermentable sugars during the mashing process.

HopZero® from Totally Natural Solutions helps improve the sensory issues commonly associated with low alcohol beers.

Malt

• Caramel- as well as roasted malts have no enzyme activity.
• High ratio of light-colored caramel malts (Carapils®, Carahell®) enhance foam and mouth feel.
• Caramel malts with lighter color may be used up to 40 %.
• Darker malts produce less maltose and maltotriose.
• NoLo beers tend to be too sweet, because the natural pH drop of the fermentation is not complete or missing completely.
• Adjust pH towards α-Amylase-Optimum with Acidulated malt: 5,6– 5,8.
