What I am looking for in this beer is a caloric content greater than 100 calories at an ABV around 3%... Essentially soda from hell... I Know that the amount of adjuncts is high, 40% by weight, so I need to adjust that in order to move forward... How would I maintain the current calorie/ABV balance and reduce the use of adjuncts?? Any input is appreciated!!
