Niacin (vitamin B3) is naturally present in malt and is extracted into the wort during mashing. Most of the niacin is utilized by yeast during fermentation. Usual content of niacin in beer is around 5 mg/L, although it can be higher (e.g. 8 – 12 mg/L).[1] High vitamin content can be caused by no further treatment after beer bottling, unlike commercial beers, which are filtered and often pasteurized.
