Homebrewers of ENWorld (A Thread About Beer, Wine, and Mead)

[Zaukrie]

Oh kombucha and I go way back...it's my sig-o's fermented beverage of choice so we've brewed several batches over the years. (My favorite so far is a jasmine+green tea+honey kombucha, really nice and herbal. Their favorite is a lemon+ginger kombucha...it's more like a funky ginger ale.)

I'm specifically looking for homebrew beer recipes that are low-alcohol or alcohol-free ("near beer"). I've stopped drinking alcohol out of solidarity with my buddy, and it has taught me two things above all else:

1. NA beers taste a lot better now than they did back in the 1990s, and
2. They are ridiculously expensive...almost twice the price of microbrews.

So I want to try making it at home, but I'm not sure where to begin. My dream is to someday clone the Clausthauler Dry Hopped, and then brew a whole garage-full of it because it's delicious.

They taste like beer now, but are expensive. Good luck!
