Principles of Brewing Science errors?

[coffutt]

In Fix's book, page 47, Table 1.7, he indicates the following, in regards to mashing effects during temperature rests:

Temp (C) 60-65....ALPHA amylase activity leading to maltose production
Temp (C) 65-70....BETA amylase activity leading to breakdown of starch to dextrin

Is this correct?

No, it's the other way round. There are other errors in there too (as I recall the signs in the RA equation is wrong) as there are in most texts. You can never catch them all.
