ok I am looking for a non fermentable sugar that will add sweetness to a malt based beverage but not raise the ABV.
How sweet is Maltodextrin and will it do the trick?
Basicly what I am doing is trying to make a clone of Mikes Hard Lemonaide. After talking to a brewery rep I think I got the basic concept down. It kinda shocked the hell outa him when I told him my plans and he said I was real close, but the sweetness factor is kinda stumping me.
So far this is what I have come up with . . . I havent worked out the amounts

- 2 Row mashed and fermented
- Real Lemon Lemon Juice/ maybe with a couple actual lemons for the hell of it
- a sweetener - I'm sure lactose would work but then I would be farting up a storm so I'm looking for another alternative
