Not really sure if this should be here, health forum or cooking tips, but I thought more interested people may see it here. As a diabetic and pensioner who does like a beer, I really object to paying $40.00 per case. To make good low carb low alcohol beer simply use 250 grams of dextrose, instead of the w...
