Hi All,
I have made a few batches of homebrew (super noob) over the years and I have a question that I believe you guys are the people in the know.
I hate beer.
Bare with me!
The reason I made home brew it's because I don't like beer, it's far too bitter for me, and I wanted to see if I could make a beer that was palatable to me but being a complete novice I did silly things which I now know were silly, by adding loads more sugar trying to make it sweet and only to find out it just made it stronger. I adjusted the ratios of my ingredients and made even more disgusting drinks.
But...
I learned a lot. So I know I'm in the right place.
I hate being with friends and they're all drinking beer and I'm drinking a spirit cocktail.
What would you guys recommend for me to make a beer-like drink (4%) without any bittering agents, and I know people would say that would be sweet, but to my taste it will still not be sweet enough lol. Maybe even a suggestion of how I could make it sweeter if I found that the recommendation still isn't sweet enough for me.
I know I can make a fruit cider... (and I have) but that just gets the piss taken out of me lol. No, I want beer ingredients, resulting in a 4% roughly, but sweeeeet, non bitter drink.
How would you go about doing this, as an experiment?
Thank you!
Eric
Just realised that this could be a US based forum, so, 'take the piss' is like 'busting my balls' in US parlance.
