The impact of liquid adjunct and barley on wort and beer quality
The use of adjunct is one of the most important factors in the beer industry, since adjunct not only influences production variables such as quality and cost, but also has an influence on market sales strategy, such as pricing strategy in Japan where liquor tax is assessed according to malt. Although a great deal of knowledge has been accumulated regarding adjuncts such as liquid adjunct (L.A.) and barley, not many reports have been published regarding special quality characteristics derived from these adjuncts, such as beer flavor stability.
