Amylo™ 300 25kg
Amylo™ 300 is an amyloglucosidase enzyme derived from a selected strain of Aspergillus niger.
SKU: BZZZ1709
Amylo™ 300 can hydrolyse sequentially both exo alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkages and can therefore be used to degrade starch polymers and maltose to glucose, for the production of high alcohol and low carbohydrate beers.
Application Information
Amylo 300 is recommended for use in brewhouse mash conversion, or in the fermentation/
maturation stages of brewing.
Process addition step
There are various points for adding Amylo 300 depending on the goal:
- Mashing and Wort separation – direct addition to mash during saccharification rest, addition to wort before kettle boiling
- Fermentation and Maturation – direct addition to cold wort on route to fermenter, and addition to storage /matured beer before filtration
pH and Temperature of use in Brewhouse
Amylo 300 optimum temperature is 75°C, with maximum activity from 60-78°C. It is designed to function in the brewhouse at normal mash pH range of pH5.2-5.8. It is added after mash-in (doughin) and is most active during the saccharification temperatures. Adding a mash-off step at the end of the mash profile (78°C) will de-activate the enzyme, giving a more consistent wort sugar profile.
Recommended dosage rates:
- Brewhouse mash is 0.25 – 1.25 mL/kg grist. Using enzyme dose up to 7 mL/kg can deliver very high attenuation
- Cold Wort is 100-500 ml/hl cold wort before fermentation.
Fermentation/ Maturation is 1-4 ml/hl of fermented beer.
