enzymes

[Owly055]

I don't know where this should be posted actually, but I just ran across a page by a biotech company that offers an array of starch to sugar conversion enzymes, etc. There seems to be an increasing selection of enzymes that may be of value to people making alcohol in it's various forms. There's even a fungal amylase that speeds up fermentation while presumably converting starch during the fermentation process......... sake anybody?

Below is a list of these products as well as links to the two pages.

Chemical brewing! I remain to be convinced it'd give the same level of complexity a proper mash with malt can produced. Inulin to sugar's interesting though - finally a use for all those Jerusalem fartichokes my wife won't let me eat or serve to guests but seem impossible to remove from the garden.

The cellulases can be a bit of a menace - working on them in a lab once we discovered they'll happily convert patches of your jeans into sugar on the next wash cycle.
