Where corn sugar can leave a faint cidery edge if overused, Brewers Crystals ferment out exceptionally cleanly, which is why they are a common choice in high-gravity brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 42 PPG and no color contribution, they are among the most efficient ways to raise alcohol in a beer. Because they ferment completely, they also lighten the body and dry the finish, which is often the point rather than a side effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely neutral, no flavor of its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrier, crisper finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighter perceived body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo color contribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean fermentation with no cidery notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall additions nudge alcohol up and sharpen the finish.
