Description
Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 helps improve lighter beer styles such as Lager, Draught and Pilsner. It adds body and mouthfeel while helping your beer retain its clean, crisp character.
This blend contains dextrose and maltodextrin. Each ingredient plays a different role in the finished beer. Dextrose provides highly fermentable sugars, while maltodextrin helps build body and mouthfeel.
What Does Brew Enhancer 1 Do?
Dextrose ferments cleanly without leaving unwanted cidery flavours. During fermentation, yeast converts fermentable sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. You can learn more about this process in the Coopers guide to the brewing process.
Maltodextrin behaves differently. It adds body to the finished beer and helps improve mouthfeel and head retention. As a result, the beer can feel fuller without gaining too much extra malt character.
The combination provides a useful alternative to using standard brewing sugar or dextrose alone.
When Should I Use It?
Choose this brew enhancer when you want to improve a lighter beer without overpowering its intended flavour. It works particularly well with styles that benefit from a clean and refreshing finish.
You can use it with many beer kits that call for brewing sugar, dextrose or a brew enhancer. Always follow the instructions supplied with your chosen beer kit for the recommended amount.
