__NOTOC__
The term '''Body''' of a beer refers to the weight and mouthfeel of a brew. Higher body is achieved by raising the final gravity of a beer without producing an incomplete fermentation. Body is a desirable characteristic for many popular beers styles, and enhancing the body of the beer also improves the [[Head Retention|head retention]] of the brew. Body can be enhanced by adding unfermentable (complex) sugars, and also by increasing the amount of protein in the brew.
