The good Doc in town has informed me that after my blood test results came through that my sugar content is way to high and that Diabetes is a huge possibility.
I have been brewing 10ltr mini AG brews of about 6 - 7% ABV. and now wish to concentrate on beers of about 3.5 to 4% yet still be a beer that still tastes ok.
My reasoning being that by lowering the ABV that will then cut the sugar content down.( I may well be mistaken on that too)
I need suggestions or help in this matter and would appreciate any help given.
1. Do I continue on making my usual brew....( 1.5 Trad Ale..... 500g munich 1 and 500g munich 2..... plus some caramunich and wheat malt with about 30g amarillo hops) then could I either top up a fair bit with water before or during the boil, or maybe top up with water in the FV before casting the yeast to lighten the brew?
2. Or does anyone now a good AG recipe of about 3.5 to 4% ABV that still has a good taste.
Maybe there is someone out there with Diabetes or has a high sugar reading that can give out some clues on the subject?
I love my beer and don't wish to give it up so I am hoping that somebody may have some good ideas or recipes...
Cheers guys
