How Much Enzymes is Required

[B-RAD 22]

Hello,

I am putting together a costing estimate for a potential distillery.

Does anyone know how much enzymes is used in a typical fermentation phase and where I can purchase some as well as an approximate cost? 

I plan on making vodka/gin in the first year with grains (probably wheat). Just looking for typical or rule of thumb estimate. 

 

Thanks

Search BSG distilling.

It all depends how big of batches you are making , if you contact bsg . Or any enzyme company they can tell you exactly the type and amount of enzyme you need according to your mash bill.

Any enzymes you buy will come with detailed dosage instructions. You can find them on most websites as well. They're all a little different between suppliers.

some that I use is 150ml to covert over 6000-8000# of 100%corn..

So not much at all.

You don't need much. I use 100ml for 2000# of grain.

The best part about enzymes is once they convert a "unit" of starch, they just drop it and move to the next "unit". So it's not about how much you need necessarily, but how long you want to wait for total conversion to occur.

dupont also makes some killer enzymes for cereal conversion
