Brewing
Adjuncts
Adjuncts are supplementary ingredients sometimes
used to add body, sweetness, color, or unique flavor
to the beer. Rice and corn adjuncts are also used
as malt substitutes by the major American breweries
to produce a cheaper beer with lighter flavor and
color. Lovibond is a rating of the darkness a grain
imparts to a beer. Higher degrees Lovibond
indicates a darker grain.
Base
Grains
Base grains comprise the greater portion of any
beer. All-grain brewers mash these grains to extract
the bulk of the malt sugars for the beer. Extract
brewers use concentrated malt extract to supply
these base malt sugars. Lovibond is a rating of the darkness a grain
imparts to a beer. Higher degrees Lovibond
indicates a darker grain.
Specialty
Grains
Specialty grains are used to add color, sweetness, roastiness,
and unique flavors to a beer. Since they do not require
mashing, they are used by both extract and all-grain brewers. Lovibond is a rating of the darkness a grain imparts
to a beer. Higher degrees Lovibond indicates a
darker grain.
