A method of producing a starch adjunct suitable for use in brewing and distilling, which comprises extruding a starch product through an extruder cooker at an elevated temperature, characterised in that the starch product to be extruded has a moisture content of at least 20% by weight and in which the extrusion is effected under high shear conditions which result, in the absence of externally applied heat, in a temperature in the extruder of at least 130 DEG C to produce an extruded product and in which the extruded product is dried to a moisture content not greater than 14% by weight.
