This reduces the alcohol content of the beer, but can also strip some of the volatiles (such as yeast esters). In this method, the beer is heated under vacuum and distilled to remove the ethanol. The first is dealcoholization through evaporation, otherwise known as vacuum distillation. There are two subcategories of dealcoholization methods. Limited fermentation with maltose-negative or maltotriose-negative yeastīroadly speaking, we can divide NA beer production into two categories: dealcoholized beers, and fermented NA beers.Arrested fermentation with standard yeast.Dealcoholization through membranes (e.g.Dealcoholization through evaporation (e.g.There are several different methods a brewer can use to make non-alcoholic beers: Alcohol-free beers by comparison contain zero alcohol (0.0%). Introduction to Non Alcoholic Beersīy most definitions, non-alcoholic beers (or “NA Beers”, or “Non Alc Beer”) are generally considered to contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). NAY is our maltose-negative yeast that makes brewing non-alcoholic beers easier. If these questions didn’t scare you off, or if you’re just curious about how to make NA beers, read on! Our goal is to provide the best guidance for producing non-alcoholic beers through fermentation. Are you sure this is the best use of your brewery’s R&D time? Consider if the time would be better spent working on other projects that will contribute more to the bottom line of your business.We are here to help guide you, but you can still expect a lot of trial and error when developing your non-alc brew. Are you prepared to dump a few batches of beer? These beers are not easy to make.Who will you be selling your non-alcoholic beer to? What channels will you sell through? Taproom? Local distro? Looking to go country-wide? What audience are you appealing to? Are you looking to grow sales from existing customers or add a new customer base?.Why are you making a non-alcoholic beer?.Before you proceed with adding a bunch of NA beers to your brew schedule, I recommend clearly answering the following questions: If this sounds like you, congratulations! You’ve found the right place.
Many beer consumers are cutting back on alcohol consumption, but do not want to settle for grocery store brands of NA beer.Īs a result, craft brewers are starting to explore production of non-alcoholic beers at an accelerating rate. Non-alcoholic beers are now one of the biggest trends in craft brewing.
