A method for the production of an organoleptically acceptable beer comprising the steps of: producing wort by crushing barley malt and adding sufficient water to create a workable mash; adding to said mash containing starch in order to augment the starch present, a barley secondary starch fraction containing starch and protein, said barley secondary starch fraction is a barley starch syrup derived from a secondary fraction of barley starch process, said barley secondary starch fraction comprised of (1) starch in concentration of between about 60% to about 90% by weight of fermentable sugars based on dry substance; (2) between about 2% to about 15% protein by weight based on dry substance; and (3) at least 15% water based on dry substance, said barley secondary starch fraction added in sufficient quantities so that the wort extract derived from said mash is comprised of between about 5% to about 60% by weight of said added barley secondary starch fraction; the pH of said barley secondary starch fraction is between about 3.5 to about 6; extracting a wort from said mash; and fermenting and maturing an organoletpically acceptable beer from said wort.
