If the premise of an extract is a sweet syrup, could I use corn syrup in place of an extract recipe and then follow the same steps for an extract recipe?
i always wanted to do a batch where i subbed the light lme for corn sugar+dextro malto and see how it turned out
Without the malt flavors and sweetness, all you'll taste is the hops. Probably won't even notice the alcohol that much.
Its not the worst idea for an experiment, but I don't think the end product will taste very good.
Thread necropoly...yeah, i meant keep everything else the same, the hops, speciality grains,etc. just replace the lme with sugar/malto dextro
i actually brewed a batch recently with 6lbs lme, 2lbs karo lite, 3/4oz hallertau at 60mins, 1/4 hallertau at the end, us05 yeast around 60F, came out excellent, similar but not exactly corona

I think you would get an alchholic carbonated water water flat no foam?

Yes that could be called a hydromel. I made one in August. It's like a peachy hard water. Used Mt Hood hops and honey so it's also like a Metheglin. I used water treatment, nutrients and an acid too.
This is only 4.6% abv. 3lbs honey and 3 corn syrup with vanilla.
There's a little head, but it doesn't last long. I'd say it's mostly Co2. This has low calories and zero protein.View attachment 593697
