  • Can be used to remove hazes caused by residual starch

Attenuaid can be used to remove hazes caused by residual starch, increase rate of fermentation and wort attenuation.

Attenuaid is best added to chilled wort before or at the same time as yeast pitching.

Description

Attenuaid is an alpha-amylase enzyme preparation from a fungal
source (Aspergillus oryzae).
Benefits
• Increased rate of fermentation
• Increased wort attenuation
• Can be used to remove hazes caused by residual starch
• Typically inactivated by pasteurisation
Principle
Alpha Amylases act upon the α-1,4 linkages in starch primarily
producing maltose.
Fungal Amylases are active at lower temperatures and pH levels
appropriate for addition to wort on collection and finished beer.
Optimal activity for this enzyme is 50oC and pH 5 but activity is
good at lower pH’s and temperatures. This enzyme is typically
inactive at mash temperatures above 60oC-62oC.
Using the product
Attenuaid is best added to chilled wort before or at the same time as yeast pitching.
Typical dose rates for this application is 0.06kg-0.45kg per MT of Grist depending on grist
make up and desired attenuation. For potable alcohol production dose rates can be
increased to up to 1.6kg per MT of grist.
When used in the mash tun dose rates of 0.5-1.5kgs per MT of grist however care should
be taken with mashing conditions to ensure the enzyme does not become de-activated.
Additions can also be made during conditioning to remove residual starches causing
haze and filtration problems.
Guidelines for use
• Check that the product is within its shelf life before use
• Ensure that the enzyme is well mixed / evenly dispersed throughout mash / wort.
• Read the Safety Data Sheet prior to use.
