  • Testing Beta-Glucanase and Pentosanase in Small-Scale laboratory Experiments

    Posted by spiritedconsultant on September 23, 2015 at 2:27 pm

    Hi,I’m looking to buy some beta-glucanase and pentosanase to run some small-scale rye mashing trials. I only need a few oz of each, but I can only find them in bulk. Would anyone who uses them be willing to sell me a small amount or recommend a supplier who would?Thanks,

    Matt

    Beta Glucanase you can easily get small quantities from Sherman – http://www.enzymash.com/

    Pentosanase – Are you talking about something like a Xylanase enzyme that would be used in commercial baking?

    Honestly, try the Sebflo-TL first, it works like a charm. If you are trying to use these to lauter, good luck, you’ll need it.

    If you want to hop over the river into Jersey, I have 100ml for you.

    Thanks. The senflo TL looks like it will handle my Beta-glucan issue. I’ll order a few oz of it

    A baking xylanase should work. I’m not sure how much impact the pentosans are actually having, so what to try a mash with and without.

    Where in NJ are you?
