If you want to add a sweetener that won't be fermented, you'll need a sugar alcohol. You could try Xylitol which should be available at most health stores, or any other sugar alcohol. You could also go with Splenda, or Stevia, both are non fermentable.

I don't have anything to add about the recipe, but I can tell you it's not only in Boston. I know for sure they serve it at Disney in the American Pavilion at Epcot. Disney and Sam Adams are pretty good friends so that might be the reason, I know they always show up for the Food & Wine Festival...

I brewed my first beer a week ago. It was a Saison with the infamous Wyeast 3724. Just wondering if I should bother with a gravity reading this early in the game. My OG was 1.050. I'm holding the beer at 90 degrees with an aquarium heater in a water bath, and the airlock is bubbling about every...

I got my yeast in from Northern brewer last week, and I'm in Orlando. It was a bit warm. My infrared thermometer said it was at 80 when it got here, and the ice pack was completely melted. I did a started and it was up and running in no time. Beer is currently in the fermentor and pumping away...
