I Agree. Brewer's Crystals. Thread starter molsonG Start date Feb 25, Help Support Homebrew Talk:. A good gravity booster when additional alcohol and dextrines are desired but additional malt flavor, aroma and color are not. Calder Well-Known Member. Don't buy it. Sounds like the 'Booster' from Mr. Boost your beers with Malt extract. Even Mr. Beer says to use malt extract in place of the booster to improve their beers.
The fermentability is about the same. If you buy it, you might use a couple of lbs per brew for a few beers, but will soon decide you would prefer not to use it, but you will have 40 lbs of it left, that you will be obliged to use Nice New Member. Calder said:. I saw these at the LHBS earlier today. A friend of mine has demanded something along the lines of Zima don't ask me why, I guess just cause you can't buy it any more.
Perhaps this might work well for that kind of application? ArcaneXor Well-Known Member. Joined Nov 10, Messages 4, Reaction score It's the same stuff that AHS uses for their alcohol boost packs. I could just add more base malt.
The odd thing is that the brewers crystals are about half the price as DME. Anyone know what's going on? Brewers Crystals don't have much of a flavor. DME does. They are used as an alcohol booster or to soften the malt character of a beer without drying it out, as would be the case with dextrose or sucrose.
How do you explain the compositions being almost identical? Legume Well-Known Member. Joined Dec 7, Messages Reaction score The composition is similar because they are made in a similar way to DME The similar profile of sugars does result in similar fermentation characteristics, they do not dry out a beer in the way that adding simple sugar would.
I brew gluten free and have experimented with these as an adjunct as they are gluten free. Thank you. In the recipe, add the volume you'll need to boil to the total batch volume. Next, add the brewer's crystals to the recipe until you get the correct calculated gravity.
It's then just a matter of boiling the brewer's crystals, chill and add to the batch. Thanks, but I probably should have been more clear. I mean how do you add them to BeerSmith as a Fermentable? I don't see Brewers Crystals as an option.
