Grains, Malting, Amylase

Post by rickyaifd »

Been reading like mad but haven't found a concrete
answer yet...Other than malting or using amyase enzymes during the cooking process, are there any other ways of converting the starches to fermentable sugars?

Nope. You need enzimes ( regardless of the source) to convert starch to sugar. Malt contains those enzimes. You can also use liquid enzimes for the conversion also.

What exactly are you trying to make. We can give you better advice that way.
