Bodybuilder – Brew Enhancer
A functional yeast-derived ingredient obtained through autolysis. It is a mouthfeel enhancer that provides clean texture reinforcement and reduces harshness and astringency derived from polyphenols, without relying on maltodextrin or lactose.
Bodybuilder is a functional brewing ingredient derived from autolyzed, inactive yeast, developed to improve the body and mouthfeel of beer.
It contains an abundance of mannoproteins, polysaccharides, and oligosaccharides. It imparts a cleaner, more multi-layered texture to beer without the heaviness or unnecessary sweetness associated with non-fermentable sugars like maltodextrin or lactose. Furthermore, it softens harshness and astringency caused by polyphenols from hops and grains, resulting in a smooth mouthfeel.
Key Benefits for the Brewing Process
1. Clean Body & Mouthfeel Formation
Creates a natural, rich texture and a rounded mouthfeel while maintaining the beer's original balance, without adding the excessive sweetness or heaviness of monosaccharides or lactose.
2. Reduction of Astringency and Harshness
Mannoproteins interact with polyphenols, softly masking the sharp astringency and piercing bitterness caused by heavy dry hopping or high ratios of specialty malts.
3. Texture Reinforcement for Low-Alcohol/Light Styles
Adds body and depth for a satisfying experience in Low-ABV beers, Session IPAs, and light lagers, which can often be thin or watery due to lower extract content.
4. Versatile Addition Timing (Hot & Cold)
Can be added at any stage of the brewing process, from late boil to fermentation and conditioning tanks, allowing for flexible application based on your goals and production line.
