Because yeast ferments it completely and cleanly, it raises gravity while actually lightening the finished beer's body — the secret behind crisp, drinkable big beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 46 PPG, Corn Sugar packs more fermentable gravity per pound than any malt, and at 0 °Lovibond it contributes no color whatsoever.
