Adding saccharides or syrup to wort
In some craft beer brewery, the brewmaster might add extra saccharides or syrup to wort during mashing in order to improve fermentation degree and lower color degree. This process is very simple&convenient and can cut down brewing cost greatly, so it is very suitable to use for high fermentation beer, light crisp beer and High concentration dilution beer particularly. However, the beer brewed with extra saccharides or syrup has its own shortcomings more or less due to the natural features of sacchrides and syrup.
The common saccharides and syrup is saccharose, glucose, invertose, caramel, corn syrup and barley syrup etc. The most often used is saccharose. As you know, low molecular dextrin plays an important role in beer and moderate amount can perfect beer flavor and improve rich mouthfeel. If adding too much saccharides or syrup, the low molecular dextrin would reduce. Accordingly, the beer would become light and lack of mouthfeel. At the same time, too much saccharides or syrup would also decrease the amount of middle and low molecular nitrogen which would slow down the yeast growing and CO2 dissolving, then cause less foam and bad taste to beer.
Therefore, when adding saccharides or syrup to wort, be careful please. In some sugar-rich area, it is workable to add a certain saccharides or syrup for brewing middle-low rated beer in order to cut down cost or when the barley quality is not good and can not dissolved efficiently. Generally, we suggest add 10%-15% saccharides or syrup per batch. But, it is best not to add any saccharides or syrup when you are going to brew premium veer.
