Here is one for you all
I am building me a fitbeer I call it
A session ale with that comes out at around 120 kcal with 4% abv. So far I have it but the mouthfeel is quite low. I want more body to it without adding any more unfetmentable sugars like dextrin etc. I want it low in unfermented carbs and as it is it is good but want to add more body so proteins would do well for that and add to my daily protein intake.
What can I add to do that?
So far I am using 2-row brewers malt with crystal 40 for about 9% of the grain bill. starting gravity is 1.038 and fg is 1.008
I have hopped the hell out of it at 49 ibu calculated. so that is good.
But it is a bit thin still. Any suggestions of malts that can fit into this bill that can increase proteins and still ferment out the sugars?
Thanks!
