Beta amylase available anywhere?

Isn’t it beano?

No. Beano is Alpha Galactosidase.

India might be a good source to investigate for beta and/or alpha amylase.

Reddit...

The best choice for recovering from a too high mash is alpha amylase in the fermenter. Won't dry the beer out too much. On the other hand, if you want really dry, use amyloglucosidase (aka glucoamylase or just gluco) in the fermenter.

Brew on

You ain't kidding. I have about a gallon of what was 1.107 OG chocolate stout that is now 1.003 SG chocolate rocket juice (almost 14% ABV) courtesy of just a half teaspoon of Gluco I added a month ago - for SCIENCE!

Next, just for grins, I'm gonna see if CBC-1 can carbonate it in some PET liter bottles I have from my bottling days, but I can't imagine doing this to a full batch of...anything...for real.

Cheers!
