High Temperature Amylase, but which ones?

Post by Ben Stillin »

So I took a big of a hiatus from HD but I never quit working on my setup.

However I have noticed the enzyme biz has become much more out and proud on general Google searches which seems new-ish.

Instead of the good ole pintoshine Sebstar HT, + SebAmyl for a corn mash there seem to be many more choices

on the Liquefaction side we have
Novozymes
Termamyl original flavor or Termamyl SC, SC DS, or SC 4x or...
Enzyme innovation
SebStar HTL, or Sebstar HT Super or HT Max.... etc.

on the saccharification side we have
Novozymes
Saczyme Plus, pro, and yield
Enzyme innovation
Sebamyl L, and Sebamyl GL


Maybe I should not pose this as a single question as much as just musing I keep to myself but since I don't do that at the best of times.
If we were going to make a 2:1 corn meal mash ~1.07-8 OG (hopefully) with enzymes only. What combination would you use and why? Have you tried any of these new ones? What do they do different or special?

Maybe you know of some even more interesting enzymes or combos. Drop them below

I still have bottles of SebStar HT and SebAmyl GL from PintO's webstore that work great but interested in any new options and experiences once those run out..

Cheers!

I suspect that Ferm Solutions is now the go-to supplier ...

I've been happy with Pint's enzymes and still have a quart of each on hand . That will keep me going for a long time .

ok, we can add Ferm Solutions to the list. I don't see much on the PH. It seems to have the same temp range as Sebstar HT. Any thoughts on how much is required to say convert a lb of corn?

Miniscule amounts. In a 22 lb mash I use a teaspoon of HTL, and its probably overkill.

Web site says 1.6ml per gallon of mash. so if you are using 2# of corn per gallon that would be 0.8 ml.
