Non-Alcoholic Beer Poll

Inspired by Oaty McOatface, a 2.5% (Dark) Oat Mild homebrew I enjoyed at the 2016 Homebrew Con, I brewed a 1.033 OG / 2.7% Oat Mild using WY1099.

It came out at 1.8 or 2.0% ABV due to mashing at 161F. That's as low as I've ever gotten. Plenty of body, flavor, and oaty silkyness.
Force carbonated in the keg but delivered a soda-like head of big bubbles that quickly dissipated, whatever I tried. Maybe due to the high mashing and/or oils from the 8.7% Golden Naked Oats I used that were not in the original recipe.

It was really good, though, could drink that all day... and I did.

We really gotta brew more of those. Maybe try some NEIPA versions in that vein, with full body.

I have no interest, I guess I could use one in the early part of the day or when I would be driving. I would have to have a really good tasting one or I would just as soon have a glass of water.

Erdinger NA is very good. Got em for my wife during pregnancies. I was gonna make her an NA beer, but decided to make her gingerale which came out AWESOME.
Lol @ earlier posters thinking people are gonna give up drinking

I love making cyser. Just curious if you would be generous enough to share your recipe (procedures) for making a NA cyser? Thanks

I'll dig through my notebooks and see if I can find my recipe and method. Things have been packed since we moved from northern Illinois to southern Maryland 7 years ago...started to set up the brew room when we got a house a year after moving, then fell ill, which ended up with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Fortunately it was early and treatable. Still no recurrence, and the wife has been asking about brewing again.

But, as I recall, used an English ale yeast (likely Nottingham or Windsor) and then cold crashed after the proper SG drop along with using potassium sorbate.
