Low carb Homebrew

[jonfro]

Hi,
Recently diagnosed T2, and have embarked on a LCHF diet.
I am also a keen home brewer, and was wondering if there were any others on this forum. If so anyone got a recipe for a low carb beer?

I haven't seen any specific recipes, but mainly you need to ferment the sugars out.

Avoid the use of non fermentable sugars when selecting the sugar.
Some malt is non fermentable, depending on the process it's been through.
Use a yeast that sustains a high alcohol, or the fermentation may stop early.

Have an experiment or two, or three, Let us know how you get on.

Apparently there are enzymes available to make a dry beer,

and this stuff appears to work.

It breaks down the non fermentable sugars, but leaves a dry, thin beer.
