DuPont: Brewing Enzyme to maximize beer flow

Enzyme solution | DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences, Copenhagen, Denmark, is introducing a new enzyme solution to Australian brewers from the DuPont brewing enzymes range: Laminex MaxFlow 4G. The solution aims to maximize beer flow, especially on barley, which is a common ingredient in Australia.

The enzyme is developed to be efficient in reducing high-molecular weight β-glucan and pentosan levels in all types of wort, making mash separation and beer filtration much easier and faster due to the reduction in wort viscosity. It is suitable for use with all conventional types of separation equipment used.

Improving mash separation and beer filtration enables brewers to increase brewhouse yield and reduce energy and water associated with filter cleaning. As a result, brewers can reduce the use of water – both in the brewhouse and throughout the supply chain – allowing them to make gains in their sustainability goals. The benefits of using the enzyme include approximately 0.10 percent higher brewhouse yield, 0.15 percent lower beer losses and 17.5 percent higher throughput at beer filtration.
