non alcoholic brews
I had a request from a relative who requested a non alcoholic batch. What would be the method of producing a brew? He is tired of the limited selections in the store.

There was an article in Brew Your Own a while back detailing the process. I think if you search their website you may find it.
The basic theory is that you bring the finished (fermented!) beer up to the boiling point of the alcohol which I think is something like 160 degrees F or so, and hold it there for a while to allow the alcohol to boil off.

Out of curiousity, would making a very low gravity wort (say 1.020) which is fairly unfermentable also work? If it starts at 1.020 and ends at 1.010, there would only be ~1% alcohol. Is that close enough to be "non-alcoholic"? Would it taste any good?
