Glucoamylase Enzyme for Spirits 12g
A fungal-derived enzyme that breaks down dextrins into simple sugars before the fermentation process. Suitable for treating up to 7.5 kg of liquefied starch with fermentation volumes reaching 25 L.
Usage
- Add the enzyme to a liquefied starch slurry or malted grain mash at or below 65 °C (149 °F).
- Mix thoroughly, cover, and maintain at 50–60 °C (122–140 °F) for one hour before cooling for fermentation.
- Alternative method: combine the enzyme with the mash/wort and yeast simultaneously, fermenting at 30–35 °C ambient temperature.
Ingredients
Dextrose monohydrate, glucoamylase enzyme.
Important
May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of spirits benefit most from glucoamylase treatment?
Glucoamylase is especially effective when distilling grain-based spirits such as whisky, vodka, or corn-based moonshine, where starch conversion to fermentable sugars is essential for maximum alcohol yield.
Can the enzyme be combined directly with yeast during fermentation?
Yes. The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation method works well at 30–35 °C. The enzyme converts dextrins while yeast ferments the released sugars in parallel, simplifying the process.
How should the enzyme be stored before use?
Store the sealed sachet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration at 4–8 °C extends shelf life. Avoid storing near strong-smelling chemicals as the enzyme powder can absorb odours.
What happens if the enzyme is added above the recommended 65 °C?
Temperatures above 65 °C denature the glucoamylase, significantly reducing its activity. This leads to incomplete starch conversion and lower fermentable sugar yield. Always verify temperature before adding.
