Adjuncts

Alternative sources of extract used to replace a proportion of malt in a beer. Adjuncts can be liquid or solid. Familiar adjuncts include sugars, wheat, corn, rice, oats, sorghum, and millet. 

While some brewers use adjuncts such as corn to lighten color or flavor, other brewers use adjuncts to enhance flavor, color, or foam.
