Blue Agave Syrup (1.5 lb)

Fully Fermentable • Dries Without Stripping Flavor • Organic Blue Agave

Organic Blue Agave Syrup is a highly fermentable sugar pressed from the same agave used to make tequila, prized in brewing for drying a beer out while leaving a trace of its own gentle character behind. It ferments essentially to completion, which makes it a clean way to raise alcohol and lighten body at the same time.

At 34 PPG and roughly 1 °Lovibond it adds real extract with almost no color. What separates it from plain corn sugar is the faint honeyed, vegetal note it leaves in the finished beer, subtle enough to stay in the background but enough to be noticed.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

• Very light honeyed sweetness
• Subtle vegetal, agave character
• Dry, clean finish
• Lighter perceived body
• Minimal color contribution

Modest additions dry the finish and lift alcohol with barely a trace of flavor. Larger additions bring the honeyed agave note forward, which suits beers meant to taste crisp and slightly exotic rather than malty.

Brewing Applications

Blue Agave Syrup is used where dryness and a light touch of character are both wanted, including:

• Saison
• Belgian Blonde
• Mexican-style Lager
• Session IPA
• Hard Seltzer
• Fruit Beer

It is also used in cider and mead, where it raises gravity without adding the heavier flavors that honey or brown sugar bring.

Usage Recommendations

Use 0.5 to 1.5 lb per 5 gallon batch. Add to the kettle in the last 15 minutes of the boil, stirring well so the thick syrup does not settle on the element. For strong beers, adding it to the fermenter partway through fermentation helps the yeast finish dry.

Pair it with a spicy or citrusy hop and an expressive yeast, where its dryness lets both sit further forward.
