Applications & Uses

Food & Nutrition Applications
Guidelines For Use
  • Check that the product is within its shelf life before use
  • Read the Safety Data Sheet prior to use
  • Care should be taken to avoid unnecessary skin contact during handling
Application And Rates Of Use
  • When used in the initial fermentation The product can be mixed in with the cold wort at the beginning of fermentation at a rate of 1 to 5 grams per hectolitre of wort which equates to 10 to 50 ppm. To ensure even distribution of the enzyme it is recommended that it be added as the wort is being run into the fermenter.
  • When used post fermentation When added post fermentation rates of 1 to 5.0 grams per hectolitre of beer should be used. The enzyme should be added to the bottom of the vessel and then back flushed with carbon dioxide for 5-15 minutes to ensure adequate mixing.
