I know those of us who are into sessions are probably in the minority, especially if you look at the staggering number of liver blaster IPAs out there today. Some of us believe that lower ABV beers can be equally delicious as an Imperial Cirrhosis for example.
I get rubbed the wrong way when I hear someone talking about a nice session they were drinking at the party when I find out "that" session was 5.5%.
I've been brewing more and more sub 1.040s lately, even a 1.033, and let me tell ya the more I drink e'm the more I wanna brew e'm! It's almost like cheating, to throw back 6 3.75%s and feel like you've only had 3 at most.
I've got a feeling there are loads of lower OG brewers like me out there, and I wanna hear the recipes, the techniques, potential pitfalls, and why going low is important, (or not important), to you.
I'm willing to experiment, swap beers, there's really no where I won't go for a good session. To fully confess, it's the main reason I started homebrewing in the first place.
I looked around for quite a while to find a thread like this, but couldn't. I found some similar older ones that died out; so I said screw it I'll go for it.
