Adjunct Brewing Solutions

Brew high quality beers with diverse adjuncts up to 100%

Lower costs and achieve sustainability targets for brewing with adjuncts


Consumers are increasingly paying more attention to what goes into their beer, with 54% of people reporting that they are heavily influenced by ingredient claims and 39% of individuals willing to pay a premium price for beer produced with locally sourced raw materials.1 These preferences are largely linked to the trend for more sustainable products and have created a need for brewers to lower the impact their processes have on the environment while ensuring economic viability. Meeting these requirements, alongside rising consumer demand for variety in flavors, can be a complex task for producers.

To overcome these challenges, as well as the added variability in fermentable sugar levels that can occur when using locally available adjuncts, producers are increasingly looking for adjunct brewing solutions that improve the flexibility, capacity and sustainability of their processes. DSM’s adjunct brewing solutions are helping brewers work more cost-effectively and achieve their sustainability targets. Our solutions also offer enhanced attenuation control for further increased flexibility in recipe formulation and helps to unlock maltose from adjuncts, meaning brewers can create diverse beer varieties – no matter which cereal base is used.

This extensive range of enzymes is complemented by DSM’s global team of brew masters and application scientists. These experts provide their in-depth knowledge of brewing with adjuncts and support with recipe development from start to finish using tools like DSM’s Adjunct Brewing Business Calculator to enable a fast route to market with new, exciting products.

Yeast based nutrients for efficient fermentation of high adjunct recipes

Ideally, all-malt wort has necessary components for a successful fermentation: Sugars, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. However these elements can be absent when brewing with adjuncts. Addition of yeast extracts can help to overcome this challenge by continually facilitating consistent fermentations. Our high quality, highly viable yeast based nutrient Gistex® LS Ferm is ideal for efficient fermentation.
