Possible ways to produce non-alcoholic beer – also in small scale
Since there is a growing number of craft brewers introducing their own non-alcoholic beer, this topic is becoming more and more interesting for quite some time. The technological approaches currently available will be focussed: from the production of special wort with reduced fermentability, cold contact procedures or the use of special yeast strains to subsequent de-alcoholisation with special equipment. Reasonable possibilities for small-scale production as well as combinations of different methods are pointed out.
