Claim 1:
2. A method for making craft beer of less than 3.5% alcohol by volume, comprising:
(a) brewing and fermenting a first wort, creating a first beer;
(b) distilling the first beer, producing a distillate and a backset;
(c) re-fermenting the backset;
(d) brewing a second wort;
(e) fermenting the second wort;
(f) combining a volume of the re-fermented backset and a volume of the fermented second wort, creating a combined beer;
(g) finishing the combined beer by adding dry hops, flavoring, or both to the combined beer, conditioning the combined beer, carbonating the combined beer, and clarifying the combined beer to produce a volume of the craft beer having less than 3.5% alcohol by volume;
where the second wort has a gravity such that (131.35*(OG−FG)*(Vf/(Vf+Vbr))) is less than or equal to 3.5, where OG is the original gravity of the second wort, FG is the final gravity of the combined beer, Vf is the volume of the craft beer, and Vbr is the volume of the re-fermented backset used in step (f).
