Adjuncts such as maize or rice are used in brewing chiefly to

  • A.Increase the bitterness of the finished packaged beer
  • B.Introduce the yeast that will ferment the wort
  • C.Provide fermentable material more cheaply than malt
  • D.Supply the enzymes that are needed to convert the starch

Answer: C

They are unmalted sources of starch, so they add fermentable extract at lower cost and give a lighter flavour and colour. They bring no enzymes of their own, so enough malt must be present to convert them as well as itself.
