Brewing low alcohol beers is tricky, because without good amount of malt for the yeast the taste flattens and becomes boring, watery. If you ever tried low or non-alcohol beers form the store, you know what I am talking about. They are either water or even disgusting fakes of real beer.

Yet my newest brew on https://brewalot.ch/ - the Milkshake New England IPA - gets nice low 3.7% alcohol by volume at 11 *P, beautiful creamy foam, intense fruity smell and low hoppy bitterness with just a pinch of sweetness.

Om nom nom...

@krzk I used to make a bunch of low-alcohol beer and I had pretty good luck with wild yeast, you get a lot of flavor out of it.

@krzk with the probably-mixed-fermentation stuff it's kind of hard to know for sure because you can't trust any of the cheap measurement mechanisms. I'd generally aim for a max achievable ABV of somewhere between 2% and 3%, depending on the style and how well I had dialed in the recipe.
