I think I've got what I need. I'll try the last couple of suggestions re less malt and beefing up after fermentation. I'll eventually get back and let you know how I went. Many thanks for all of the informed help.

A thought came to me re lowering volatile levels (AKA in this case "alcohol") in a beer. In industrial applications the "flash evaporator" is used as the first stage in natural gas processing to drop out heavy ends (C8 and higher) and leave the lighter ends in a gas stream. Stripping higher...

As the OP I must say I'm impressed. :D I didn't expect to start the debate we've got. So, if I summarize somewhat. It would be a bugger of a process and unless done in umpty thousand liter vats stirred by Bavarians with Kaiser Wilhelm mustache and lederhosen probably well outside my limited...

I've brewed my own for some 20 years. But with a medication I'm NOW on any alcohol gives me a raging headache. Bummer Eh?? :( BUT after some experimentation I found Coopers "Birell"; supposedly 0.5% alcohol. :rolleyes: Ok... OK .... so it sounds dreadful. Actually it doesn't taste too bad...

Fabulous!! :rolleyes: Great ideas gang. I like the block and tackle idea, or at least on principal, a lifting rig of some sort. Sounds a bit weird, but hey, I've got MIG and gas axe, and 18" metal drop saw etc etc plus a good workshop and a 1/2 ton 5 pulley set up (without rope) sitting...

Many thanks. I somehow knew it wasn't going to be easy. I'll have a think about it. Sorry about the dud posting. I'm getting the hang of your layout slowly I'm afraid.

I'm a real basic Brewer. I use 3-4 30L brew barrels and basic can brews with a bit of a tweak. Haven't poisoned myself yet. :icon_cheers: But I run a brew 3 days and then rack it into another barrel so as to let it brew out with no sediment in the bottles. Sometimes I'll do a secod racking if...
