Malt liquor is a strong lager or ale in which sugar, corn or other adjuncts are added to the malted barley to boost the total amount of fermentable sugars in the wort, and thus boost the final alcohol concentration without creating a heavier or sweeter taste.
Magnesium silicate is a chemical compound consisting of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It exists in several forms, both natural and manufactured. One of the most common forms of this compound is the mineral talc, which can be found in deposits around the world and is used in many industrial and everyday applications.
The term talc covers a wide range of natural rocks and minerals, most of which are magnesium silicates. The pure talc mineral is a hydrous magnesium silicate, Mg3Si3O10(OH)2, which theoretically is 31.7 percent MgO, 63.5 percent SiO2, and 4.8 percent H2O. The crystal structure of pure talc is a brucite sheet (Mg12O12H4) sandwiched between two silica (SiO2) sheets, to form talc layers that are superimposed indefinitely.
