Craft Brewing & Distilling Enzymes

Use of enzymes in craft brewing and distilling offers range of benefits covering flexibility of raw material quality & type, higher throughput, flavour control, consistent product quality from smaller production batches.

Process Challenges

  • High viscosity issues
  • Fluctuating raw material quality
  • Low extract yields
  • Different attenuation requirements
  • Chill haze formation
  • Diacetyl formation with buttery, unpleasant flavor

Fermentation Enhancement

-Yeast Nutrition
-Improves Fermentation time
-Increase Alcohol Yield

ei-icon
Liquefaction

– Liquefies starch
– Conversion of starch into smaller sugars
– Medium and High Temperature range

ei-icon
Saccharifaction

– Conversion of small sugars into smaller sugars
– Makes maltose and/or glucose

ei-icon
Mashing

– Improve Malt Quality

ei-icon
Viscosity Reduction

– Reduces thickness associated with many grains
– Useful for Sticky/gummy/cement mashes

ei-icon
Diacetyl Control

– Reduces buttery flavors
– Reduces maturation time

How Enzymes for Diacetyl Control Can Improve Craft Beer Quality

Beer is almost as old as civilization, with some estimates crediting the brewing and drinking of this popular beverage as far back as 5000 B.C. Ever since the first known
