Hi - just wondering if anyone knows of any good nonalcoholic malt beer recipe sites
Here's a starting point:

Apparently you can brew a regular malted beer and then boil off a lot of the alcohol at low temperature because the alcohol boils at a lower temperature (~70C) than the water/beer. Higher body (high dextrin) beers tend to do better. You might want to try a full bodied ale or even a darker beer as the extra body/flavor may mask the lack of alcohol balance.
You need to repitch yeast to carbonate naturally (or force carbonate) as the heating will kill the yeast.
Disclaimer: I have not tried this myself.
Going back to your original question - I'm not aware of a recipe archive for no-alcohol beer. I would probably start with a full bodied standard ale or brown beer to see how that turns out.
Cheers!
Brad

I tried doing it before as beersmith suggested. Split a ten gallon batch. The Nonalcoholic beer had similar taste but had a very noticeable cardboard taste. Ended up tossing it.
