This high activity and high temperature enzyme (alpha-amylase enzyme) breaks down starch into dextrins during the cook process and works best at higher temps ranging from 150-190 degrees F. This product is added to the hot slurry water before or concurrently with the first grain addition during mashing. In addition to breaking down starch this enzyme greatly reduces viscosity, especially in thicker mashes containing high amounts of rye or other small grains. Use gluco-amylase to completely convert grain starches to fermentable sugars. Temperature: This product works best at higher temperatures (150-190 degree F range). Suggested usage: 2 tsp. per 5 gallons mash. 8 ounces- good for up to 120 gallons of mash 16 ounces- good for up to 240 gallons of mash
