Glycerin 99.5%, 500 ml

Glycerin for body and mouthfeel

Glycerol, also called glycerin or E422, is a clear, slightly sweet liquid. It can be used in finished beer, cider, wine and spirits to provide a rounder mouthfeel, more body and a mild sweetness.

Glycerin is significantly less sweet than ordinary sugar and is therefore used primarily for its effect on body and texture. It is not normally fermented further by standard brewer's yeast.

Dosage and administration

Add the glycerin to the finished drink and mix thoroughly. Begin with approximately 1–2 ml per litre, taste, and gradually increase as needed. Around 3–5 ml per litre is often used when a more pronounced effect is desired.

Please make a test in a small, measured portion first. Too much addition can cause excessive sweetness or a heavy mouthfeel.

Glycerol can, like lactose, affect body and perceived sweetness, but the products have different flavour profiles and are not direct replacements for each other.
