Hi all,


Edit: Nottingham yeast! End edit.


I wanted to see what you would expect by adding amyloglucosidase to a beer I made last night.

Simple recipe, just 6 lbs extract for a 5 gallon batch. Ginger root, lemon zest, and a small amount of hops.

OG is 1.043.

How low do you expect FG to go? Does anyone have experience by adding higher amounts. I think the vials are 10ml, but I have a jug of the Ultra Ferm.

Thanks!

I think extract is golden light from northern brewer. Aiming for as low FG as possible with this technique only.
 
You should expect FG around 1.000 with this enzyme added in the fermenter as directed.

I don't think increasing the amount will decrease the FG, but who knows?
 
I recently did an extract brown ale with nottingham that got down to 1.007 by itself.
