Gluco-Amylase for Craft Brewing

ART-EN-037 is a powder gluco-amylase enzyme for brewhouse and fermentation support where residual dextrins must be converted into glucose. In brewing, it is commonly evaluated for high-attenuation beers, low-residual-carbohydrate beer styles, adjunct mashes, specialty cereal processing, and process trials where the brewer needs a more complete extract conversion profile than malt enzymes alone can provide. The enzyme acts mainly on alpha-1,4 glucosidic bonds and can also assist with slower hydrolysis of alpha-1,6 branch points, depending on substrate, mash profile, and residence time.

Typical technical parameters are confirmed on the certificate of analysis for each lot. Powder grades are commonly specified by declared activity in U/g, with off-white to light tan appearance, low insoluble matter, moisture generally targeted at not more than 8%, and practical particle size suitable for controlled dispersion into mash or process water. Operating conditions are normally assessed around acidic mash or wort ranges, often pH 3.5-5.5 and elevated saccharification temperatures; exact optimums depend on the enzyme grade selected.

• Craft brewing: supports attenuation management in dry beer, brut-style profiles, high-gravity brewing, alternative-grain recipes, and trials where residual dextrin reduction is required.
• Mashing and adjunct processing: used in process development for corn, rice, sorghum, wheat, barley, and other starch-containing substrates after gelatinization and liquefaction steps.
• Distilling and ethanol fermentation: assists saccharification of liquefied starch streams to improve fermentable sugar availability before yeast pitching, subject to plant-specific validation.
• Food ingredient manufacture: used in starch conversion, glucose syrup preparation, cereal hydrolysates, and flavor or extract processes where controlled carbohydrate breakdown is needed.
• Feed and biotechnology processing: evaluated in enzyme-assisted substrate preparation where digestible carbohydrates or glucose-rich intermediates are process targets.

Store ART-EN-037 in the original sealed 25 kg multi-wall sack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage is typically below 25 °C, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong odors, and high humidity. Keep sacks closed after opening and reseal promptly to reduce moisture pickup and activity loss. Typical shelf life is 12-24 months when stored as directed, with the final period stated on the lot documentation.

As with all industrial enzyme powders, avoid dust generation during charging, weighing, or rework. Operators should use site-approved personal protective equipment, local exhaust where needed, and standard procedures for enzyme handling. Dosing should be validated by bench mash, pilot brew, or plant trial because substrate composition, temperature hold, pH, contact time, and downstream yeast selection affect the final attenuation result.

ArtemisYeast supplies gluco-amylase for business-to-business procurement with specification review before shipment. Available documentation may include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, food-grade declaration, and country-of-origin information. Manufacturing documentation can be reviewed against HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher requirements when such documents are available for the quoted production lot.

Lot release parameters may include enzyme activity, appearance, moisture, particle size, microbiological limits, and heavy metal screening according to the grade and destination market. Visit quality and documentation for supplier qualification expectations, or request a technical data package during quotation. Bulk quote on request; no public price is posted because activity grade, destination, documents, and order volume affect the commercial offer.
