3 in 1 enzyme pack

[Aidas]

I'm having a hard time finding amylase in my part of the world. I found this on partyman.se Is this a product worth using, or is it crap?

With all the trouble I'm having finding ready to use amylase, I'm really leaning towards buying malt. I can get malted rye (from bread-making suppliers) or malted barley (from brewers suppliers) (though it seems tat they only have two-row czech malt, and I'm concerned it won't be active enough).

Here's the write-up from partyman:

Complete 3 in 1 enzymes (Pectinase, amylase, amy - Complete ezyme is a mixture of 3 enzymes: The Pectolase will break down cell structures and breakdown pectin, the amylase will breakdown starch and the Amylogrlucosidase take dextrins to fermentable sugars. One cannot use this sachet for winemaking because dextrins are needed for the weight of a wine - except for diabetic wine. The main reason for this mixed enzyme sachet is for those who intend to distil. One uses a recipe which includes an element of fruit and an element of starch. He peels, cuts, boils (good not to forget the boiling bit!!) and ends up with a slurry at 50 C to which the enzyme is added. Complete enzyme can also replace any of the 3 enzymes mentioned.

Any ideas?

I tried using a pack of this 3 in 1. Got good conversion. I don't know how to quantify conversion, but it worked... I'd sure give the malted barley a try. Even if it won't convert much grain beyond itself, it sure tastes nice and makes a great drink on its own.
