Still Spirits Distiller's Enzyme – Glucoamylase 12g
Fungal-derived glucoamylase enzyme for grain and starch mashes. Converts dextrins to simple sugars for maximum yield. Optimum 50 - 60°C. Treats up to 25L.
Still Spirits Distiller's Enzyme — Glucoamylase 12g
A fungal-derived glucoamylase enzyme that breaks down dextrins into simple, fermentable sugars — the essential second step in starch conversion for grain and potato-based mashes.
Where Alpha-Amylase liquefies starch into dextrins, Glucoamylase completes the job by converting those dextrins into glucose that yeast can directly ferment. Using both enzymes together maximises alcohol yield from starch-based substrates. Also suitable for maximising yield when mashing malted grains using natural diastatic enzyme activity.
How to Use
- Complete your alpha-amylase mashing step first and cool the mash to 50–60°C
- Add the glucoamylase and hold at temperature for the recommended saccharification period
- Once conversion is complete, cool to pitching temperature
- Add yeast and ferment as normal
