•AA is an alpha amylase enzyme selected especially for its ability to break mash viscosity caused by gelatinization of starch and converting it to dextrin chains. This step is the first key point in the cooking / mashing process for quality fermentation.

•AA can be used on whole grain mashes and starch substrates.

•AA through the hydrolysis of starch, displays a good viscosity reduction which results in easier agitation and pumping.

For gelatinisation of grain/starch, the recommended dose is 35 – 75 milliliters per 100 kilograms of grain added to the mash/cook tank.

Add the measured AA to the mash tank at a temperature of 75°C - 85°C and
pH range of 4.5 - 5.5. Dosing can be split if viscosity break is needed prior to optimal cook temperature to aide agitation.

After the AA is added to the mash/cook tank, a hold time of 60 minutes is
recommended at 75 - 85°C to complete the breakdown to dextrins (dependent on grain/starch type and amount in recipe).

AA should be stored in a cool (5°C - 10°C) and dry area away from heat and direct sunlight for maximum stability.

Shelf Life: 12 months if stored <10°C. Storage approaching 12 months above this temperature may result in decreased activity where additional products may need to be dosed.
