Still Spirits Distiller's Enzyme Glucoamylase is a fungal-derived powdered enzyme that breaks short-chain dextrins in a starch mash down into simple, fermentable sugars. Use it after mashing, or add it with the yeast to convert and ferment at the same time.

Specs

  • Pack size: 12 g
  • Treats up to 7.5 kg of liquefied starch for up to 25 L of fermentation
  • Ingredients: dextrose monohydrate, glucoamylase enzyme

How to use

  • After mashing: add to the liquefied starch slurry or malted grain mash at or below 65°C, stir well, cover and leave for 1 hour, then cool for fermentation.
  • Or ferment and convert together: add with the yeast and ferment at an ambient temperature of 30-35°C.

Safety: may cause allergy or asthma symptoms if inhaled.

Grain and potato distillers who want more fermentable sugar from their mash, usually after an alpha-amylase step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does one sachet treat?

Up to 7.5 kg of liquefied starch, for fermentation volumes up to 25 L.

Can I add it with the yeast?

Yes. Still Spirits say it can be added with the yeast to convert and ferment at the same time, at 30-35°C ambient.

What is the difference from alpha-amylase?

Alpha-amylase liquefies starch into dextrins; glucoamylase breaks those dextrins down into simple fermentable sugars.
