Turn N/A beer into beer with alcohol. Possible?
Brewski you are the man!
I am curious as to the oxidation level in the beer possbily caused from the pour. Let us know how it tastes when you get there!
I think that a packet of dry brewers yeast could be a very valuable asset in certain parts of the world. ![]()
I seriously doubt that this will be one of my best, but very probably one of the most memorable.
perhaps DesertThirst should post an address and we can send a care package to the boys in the sand box and get them on their way towards libationous celebrations.
I'm done in the 1 gal primary. 
Gotta find some screw off soda bottles & get it bottled. Then I'll post the whole process.
This group is awesome. Thank you for all of your ideas and experiments. I have some brewers yeast arriving in the next few days. I will keep this board posted. I think these posts and tests may help many other people to come. I also think drinking a few beers in this region could help to bring world peace, but that subject is for another day. Cheers!
Good to hear back from ya. Had me worried there. I'm bottling today, in screw off 24oz plastic Coke bottles.
I'm planning on posting the whole process, and will also put into a Word .doc w/ pics.
Soooo- the answer to the original question is YES. ![]()

I've got the whole thing in a quite large, for me, Word document which I can't paste into a post.
Any ideas how to begin the process of obtaining World Peace? ![]()
But how is the flavor?
Brewski, very nice indeed! If you'd like to post the Word document, then you could host it on a file server and post the link for download. Or if you can't do that, then email it to me and I'll host it and post the link. Shoot me an IM if this is the way you want to go and I'll reply with my email address.
Let us know how the flavor profile of this now A beer turns out! Cheers!
Skerv- Don't know what it will be like carbed & cold. Not horrible warm & flat, decidedly yeasty.
1n1m3g - Sounds good, I'll do it. The second page is focused on the following question. I don't know that everyone would be interested.
QUESTION- ![]()
The original O.G. of the N/A beer was 1.012.
I measured a can that I poured out & let sit overnight. Later I took a can, poured it in a sauce pan, let it sit for a couple hours, boiled it until I didn't get very much foaming, cooled it and added water back to 12oz. Same reading.
After I mixed in the cane sugar I got an O.G. of 1.057 @ 68F
Based on BeerTools & BeerSmith I should have had an F.G. of somewhere around 1.020, and ABV of 4.6 -5% but it was 1.002 @ 70F !!!!
Holy Hydrometer Batman, that's an ABV of 7%. ![]()
So the question of the day is: Are there residual fermentable sugars/malts in N/A beer? With extra hops added to reduce the sweetness.
If that is true, N/A beer could be fermented without any additional sugar, resulting in a flat, warm 1.5% ABV product.
