Suggestions for low, or alcohol free, weizens. Or Guiness 0% clones

[peterpiper]

Does anyone have any recipe suggestions, for brewing clones of Erdinger alkoholfrei weizen, or Guineas 0%? Or other worthwile, low alcohol beers.
And is bottle carbonation possible?

As far as I understand, low alcohol beer needs to be pasteurised (at 70°C ?). For how long?
I guess that all subsequent transfer / storage / bottling, will have to be ultra sterile.

I was looking at doing some low alcohol beers myself.

Guinness Zero would be difficult to achieve at the homebrew level I think, but you could possibly get to a low alcohol stout by building a light malt bill and a high temp mash, maybe using some lactose and adjuncts like cacao nibs etc. Might take some experimenting to get to something you like though so maybe start doing some small batches and take lots of notes. There's an article here that could help you on the road to thinking about it: https://www.brew-dudes.com/homebrewing-low-alcohol-beer/8478

There's an under 1% IPA on David Heath's YouTube channel:

Again not the style you are after but gives you a good idea of how to approach it.

I had a hairbrained idea of my own (maybe done before, as most ideas are), but I read that some wine yeasts are incapable of breaking down complex sugars so could leave you with a low alcohol and high maltose beer, could work for something like a stout, maybe...? Might taste a bit like the African/Jamaican malt drinks rather than a beer though
