DSM MYCOLASE® – 20kg
MYCOLASE® is a liquid fungal alpha-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae.
SKU: BZZZ1746
Overview:
DSM MYCOLASE® allows brewers to produce highly attenuated beer through the conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, mostly maltose.
MYCOLASE® helps to ensure that starch conversion is complete during mashing, thereby allowing the expected final attenuation to be attained.
Benefits to using MYCOLASE®:
- MYCOLASE® aids in the production of maltose, allowing for a high degree of attenuation to be attainable in beer.
- Fermentation that has become “stuck” can be stimulated with MYCOLASE®, so that the expected attenuation can be achieved.
- Starch/dextrin turbidity in the finished beer is prevented by MYCOLASE®.
- Organoleptic properties of the beer remain unchanged with the use of MYCOLASE®.
APPLICATION
MYCOLASE® is recommended for use in mashing, or in the fermentation/maturation stages.
In fermentation/maturation, the recommended dosage is 1-4g/hL (1.2-4.8mL/hL) beer.
In mashing, MYCOLASE® is active up to 60°-65°C(140°-149°F) and has optimal activity in the range of 52°-62°C (125°-144°F). They enzyme is completely deactivated above 70°C (158°F).
Recommended dosage in the mash is 200-1000g/tonne (240-1200mL/tonne)
This product is particularly appropriate for use at temperature and pH conditions typical for fermentation and is also active at 0°C. If the product is used only for reduction of turbidity the addition should take place in maturation vessel.
