I want to do high gravity potato ferments and I'm wondering if it's better to add the gluco enzyme and yeast to the bottom or top of the fermenter.
I assume that agitation is a no no and that a chunky mash would be better than a runny one to prevent liquid moving naturally through convection.

Re: Practical Methods for simultaneous saccharification?
Would Chinese yeast balls work?
They good on steamed rice .... can’t get much thicker than that

Does anyone know about simultaneous saccharification?

No but that was why I mentioned the Chinese yeast balls ... thats exactly how they work

High gravity potatoe,,, wait what?
Alpha and a high temp yeast maybe?

Re: Practical Methods for simultaneous saccharification?
I can't imagine a chunky mash being high gravity ?
I would also imagine agitation would be preferred?
If the enzyme binds to the surface then more surface area would be best no?

Re: Practical Methods for simultaneous saccharification?
Evidently there are some Alpha enzymes that work more effectively at low temps than others?
