Sugar! If you browse our website for beer kits you'll notice that a large proportion of them require that you add sugar. That's not a bad thing because we need the sugar to ferment and convert to ethanol ("Alcohol"). When the malt, hops, and sugars combine thats when you develop the taste of your beer. The problem is that sugar ("Saccharose") which is cane sugar (or beet sugar which is chemically the same) adds nothing to the flavour of your beer.

So here's a suggestion to improving the taste of your beer. Rather than using sugar try using the Beerworks - Liquid Malt Enhancer. Now you're adding flavour!

Malt ("Maltose") which is very similar to saccharose contains other components which give the beer a full flavour. Full flavoured beers are for the most part always made only from grain. So to produce real ale with true flavour give the Liquid Malt Enhancer a try. We're convinced that once you do there'll be no turning back.
