The amyglucoamylase enzyme is used to convert dextrins into fermentable sugars. The enzyme is popular with brewers aiming to produce‚ low carb‚ super dry beers and Brut IPA styles as well as distillers looking to increase alcohol yield.
AMG or Amyloglucosidase 300 is an enzyme that helps to increase the fermentability of wort. This product is ideal to use for the production of highly attenuated low carbohydrate beers. It can also be used an alternative to priming sugar, increase filterability and improve beer shelf life. It is derived from a selected strain of an Aspergillus sp. It can be added to the mash conversion vessel, fermenter, or post fermentation, depending on application.
Benefits:
Increases attenuation and alcohol yield
Improved wort fermentability
An alternative to priming sugar
Increases filterability Improves beer shelf life
Ideal for use in packaged beers Reduces process time
Although optimum temperatures are suited to mashing, the enzyme will still work at fermentation temperatures. Thus, addition into the fermentation vessel will ensure complete dryness. For example, a 55 gravity wort (13.75 Plato) will produce a beer of 7.2% ABV
