adjunct grains

Adjunct grains are alternative grains added to beer brewing alongside traditional ingredients like malted barley. They are often used to modify flavor, color, or reduce costs. Common adjunct grains include corn, rice, sorghum, or wheat. These grains can lighten the beer's body and color or introduce unique flavors, depending on the type. Brewers select adjuncts to achieve specific characteristics or to make the beer more affordable. While traditional brewing typically relies on barley, adjunct grains expand the diversity of beer styles and flavors available to consumers.
