Solve Mash Viscosity Issues

ViscoSEB L – Working with many different grains and unusual grains can lead to a variety of problems that had never before been accounted for in a distillery. Viscosity issues from exotic rye mashes, protein problems with quinoa, even polysaccharides from fruit can result. All of these problems have their unique set of answers on how to solve the aforementioned problem, but what if a single enzyme complex could work for each specific instance?

Improve Wort Attenuation

SEBamyl GL – The greatest thing about malted barley is the fact that it comes in a nice package that is ready to go, just add water and heat, then fermentable sugar results an hour or so later. It is almost like a microwave dinner, someone else does the work of the malting the barley, while the buyer just sits back and relaxes until the timer goes off and the mash is converted from starch to sugar.

High Temperature Starch Liquefaction

SEBstar HTL – The new frontier of craft distilling is leading to much innovation and new grain blends that can produce very unique characteristics. A lot of the time though, these new grains are locally sourced, and malting them can be a costly option. Instead it is easier to liquefy the starch of said grains at high temperatures, around 80 C to 100 C (boiling). This allows for the starch in the grain to loosen up and become available for supplemental enzymes to do their job and break the starch down into sugars.

Address Thick Mashes | Beer Mashing

SEBflo TL – Every now and then a little experimentation takes place in the brewery, and a new wheat beer pops up, or a rye IPA is devised. Everything is going great with the formulation, the ingredients are in place, the specialty hops just got in, and the yeast is waiting to be pitched.  Alas the mash tun has gone from a nice sweet barely tea, into a thick goopy mess which is just waiting to get stuck in the lautering. What happened? Where is that nice, sweet, and thin wort that was so loved?

Diacetyl Prevention with Enzymes | Craft Beer

SEBmature L– One of the great things about lagers, is their malt forward profile that is very clean, crisp, and refreshing. This taste can come at some great cost to the brewer who has to cool ferment the beer and keep it at laagering temperatures for close to two weeks if not longer. The most obvious reason for this is to reduce the diacetyl content of the beer to below detectable levels by the beer drinker. Diacetyl is a compound that is produced as a by-product of yeast fermentation, and is typically associated with a buttery popcorn kind of taste.

Beer Mash | Maximize Sugar Extraction

SEBrew Malt P1500– When it comes to feeding the yeast in one’s upcoming beer, usually a choice is made at the mashing stage with respect to how fermentable the beer should be so style purposes. This leads to a cooler or warmer mash within the 140-160 F range, higher for less fermentable, and lower for more fermentable wort. Of course this is all in a perfect world, where the malted barley has enough enzymes in it to work quickly and efficiently enough, not to mention temperature fluctuations and the like.

Enzyme use in Apple Juice Processing

Production of Fruit juice with enzymes is an essential practice in the juice industry throughout the world, and apple juice is the most popular juice over all.  To the average person, fruit juice production is a simple concept, just squeeze and collect the juice.  As with most things, the process is much more complex, especially when processing several tons of apples at a time.  Other issues such as increasing yield, controlling clarity with enzymes, sweetness and shelf life are all importan

What Is An Enzyme?

First of all, an enzyme is a protein. The main forms of proteins are structural, hormones, regulatory and enzymes. Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary defines an enzyme as follows: “Enzymes are complex proteins capable of inducing chemical changes in other substances without being changed themselves.”1
