Brewing a Non Alcoholic Beer | Pilsner | Low & No Alcohol Brewing with Ultralow Brewing

Welcome to another brew-day with Ultralow Brewing. In this video, we’ll be brewing a delicious non-alcoholic Pilsner. A full bodied, light malty base, with a smooth bitterness, with spice and floral notes from the Saaz hops.

Brew-day notes to help you brew this great beer:
- High temperature mash (80-82°C) focusing on a more dextrinous wort for less fermentable sugars.
- Grains milled coarsely to reduce efficiency.
- No Sparge, squeeze bag.
- Hot cubed/no chill.
- OG 1.008 FG 1.005 = 0.4% ABV
- Mash pH: 5.5
- Fermenter volume 12 ltrs
- Post-boil pH: 5.69, 2.0 ml 88% lactic acid added to target of 4.61.
- Post fermentation pH 4.34
- pH is important! Be sure to acidify the wort to at least a pH of 4.6-4.8 before pitching the yeast. You will only observe a drop of around 0.3-0.5 pH with such a low attenuation, so manual intervention is necessary for extended shelf life, overall flavour and most importantly, food safe levels (below 4.6 is safe against most pathogens with 4.3 being ideal).

Lallemand “London” Ale yeast alternative strains:
- Lallemand LalBrew CBC-1 Cask & Bottle yeast (Neutral flavour, Maltotriose negative).
- Fermentis SafAle F-2 Cask & Bottle yeast (Neutral flavour, Maltotriose negative).
