I am sure this topic may get me banned but anyone give them a go? I think DJ did one recently. Just placed and order for glucoamylase and monk fruit concentrate to try a recipe I seen in the latest Craft Beer and Brewing magazine. The beer should be about 4.3% abv, 130 calories and 5g carbs for a 16oz can. It calls for 1318 and I just so happen to be kegging a beer with that this weekend so I will use some of the slurry to get this one going.
Low ABV low carb beers

So the monk fruit is added 2 days prior to packaging for a bit of sweetness and body. The glucoamylase is what makes it go to sub zero.

Used Wyeast 3522.(morebeer messed up sending me this inside of the Roselare blend, another story)
I'm impressed by this little beer. Get a lot of flavor from the yeast.

This is what I ordered for Monk Fruit Extract. I got a confirmation from WeldWerks that this is similar to what they use.

Mine wasn't designed for using the enzyme but turned out OK. I think that higher Lovibond Viking PA malt helped. I'll try some more in the future. That pound I got will outlast me.

I'll brew one tomorrow or Saturday that will intentionally be lower ABV and carbs. The last was just a late decision after pitching.
I don't have it worked out yet but the grainbill will be mostly 2-row. Probably the Munton's propino I have, with a touch of home toasted 2-row (think special roast) and a lighter touch of C-20. Whatever fruity C hops I have in the freezer. OG around 1.035 with a FG around 1.000. 1272 but I'll add glucoamylase to the fermenter.

I like that occasionally but this will be a 10 gallon batch. Also around 4.5% rather than BW level

Interesting. Never heard of monk fruit
It's used as a sweetener I've noticed.

I tasted what I bought and it is very sweet. The article mentions using it to bring in some mouthfeel.
