How to Flavour Beer

Use Natural Flavours To Create Unique And Unforgettable Tasting Beers

Foodie Flavours are used by some of the UK’s top innovative breweries – Our wide range of natural flavourings are great for home brewing as well as microbreweries and large scale beer production.

High strength flavours are simple to use in beer, providing rich tastes without the need to add vast quantities of ingredients. Start experimenting from the popular – caramel, rhubarb, vanilla – to the more adventurous – liquorice, exotic fruits, bacon and whatever else you can imagine.

How To Use

Types of flavouring for beer

Usually “water soluble” flavourings are used for beer. Carriers such as ethanol or Propylene Glycol are commonly used in such flavourings.

Flavour Consistency & Stability

These professional flavours are lovingly crafted from natural ingredients to impart accurate tastes to your beers. Whilst using some raw materials like fruits, berries or spices can prove unpredictable – Foodie Flavours are extremely stable and provide consistent taste profiles.

How much flavouring to use

The amount you use will differ between flavours and vary according to the type of beer and ingredients in your brewing process. As a guide, start with 0.5ml to 1ml of flavour per litre of beer and adjust to taste. Some flavours may have a maximum limit which will be indicated on the label (this will usually apply to flavours containing Propylene Glycol).
