Beer and in particular low and no alcohol beers are greatly influenced by preconceptions. These preconceptions are not helped by the fact that in the past process practices have sometimes left the taste/aroma compromised.
Sensory and method development:
Ethanol positively contributes to key attributes in beer: sweetness, fullness/body and alcohol warming sensation. (Ramsey et al. 2018) meaning these attributes should be targeted when developing new low and no alcohol products
There are various production strategies for creating low and no alcohol beers including biological methods. For help with this speak to our technical advisors or our friends at Murphy’s.
You can also find more information on no and low alcohol beer by watching this video from our supplier partner Fermentis.
Pasteurisation required. SafBrew™ LA-01, is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. chevalieri that has been specifically selected for the production of low and/or non-alcoholic beverages (<0.5ABV). This yeast does not assimilate maltose and maltotriose but assimilates simple sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and is characterized by a subtle aroma profile. Yeast with a medium sedimentation: forms no clumps but a powdery haze when resuspended in the beer.
Cold extraction of malt components captures colour and flavour from speciality malts, whilst limiting the extraction of complex fermentable carbohydrates
Crisp combine traditional and modern malting techniques at their sites in England and Scotland to create an impressive range of malted and non-malted products, including several unique and exclusive barley malts; such as Chevallier Heritage Malt and Clear Choice Malt.

Useful for space saving and reducing spent material disposal. Muntons malt extracts will provide approximately 300L° extract. Best added prior to the boil.
All-Natural Liquid Malt Color is produced entirely from CARAFA® roasted malt. Weyermann® SINAMAR® extract is brewed like beer and then vacuum-evaporated to concentrate it. It contributes dark colour to the finished beer but next to no bitterness.
Ethanol positively contributes to key attributes in beer:
Therefore, these attributes should be targeted when developing no/low alcohol products.
Quick Hints for adding Mouth Feel
A non-fermentable sweetener which is used in finished beer to give a faintly milky sweetness to stouts and dark beers.
A dark brown liquid obtained by controlled heat treatment of sugars (saccharose or glucose) using certain additives (ammonium hyrdroxide). Caramels are used to provide colour in beer, cider and non-alcoholic malted beverages.
We supply oat malt from Crisp and it gives smoothness and body to darker beers and is particularly good in stouts.
