Adjunct

Adjunct: An unmalted cereal grain or other fermentable product used for brewing.  An adjunct must rely on surplus enzymes in the mash to convert its starch into sugar (taken from "The Brewmaster's Bible" by Stephen Snyder)

 

Corn sugar is an example of a widely used adjunct

 

Belgian candy sugar is too...anything that isn't malt is considered an adjunct

 

I would have to say anything that isn't included in the Reinheitzgbut would be considered an adjunct. In other words, anything besides your, (in order of volume) Water, Malt, Hops, or most recently added, Yeast.

 

now the question is with the corn sugar I read a recipe that called for the following:

4.87 lbs.     American 6-row Pale
0.07 lbs.     American Victory
0.06 lbs.     American Caramel 10°L
0.04 lbs.     American Caramel 20°L
1.08 lbs.     Corn Sugar
0.2 oz.     Warrior (Pellets, 16.00 %AA)
0.50 oz.     Glacier (Pellets, 5.50 %AA)
Yeast :     WYeast 2035 American Lager

to me it seems that 1.08lbs is quite a bit. Would this be added during the boiling of the Wort? My knowledge seems to tell me the Corn Sugar is used for priming.
