Where enzymes fit into brewing.

Each enzyme has a different role. Use the process stage below to identify where it adds the most value.

01
Malted grain ready for brewing

Milling

Prepare grain and expose starch for efficient downstream enzyme action.

02
Brewing mash and malt

Mashing

Liquefy starch and create the right conditions for fermentable sugar release.

See mashing enzymes →
03
Brewing wort during conversion and heating

Conversion

Hydrolyse starch into smaller sugars such as maltose and glucose.

04
Stainless steel fermentation vessels

Fermentation

Support fermentation control and manage flavour-impacting by-products.

See fermentation enzymes →
05
Finished beer after conditioning

Conditioning

Refine clarity, stability and the finished flavour profile before packaging.

Core brewing enzymes

Choose enzymes by process stage.

Mashing & conversion

Build fermentable sugars

Use the right combination depending on starch source, mash conditions and target sugar profile.

Fermentation & speciality

Improve process control

Use targeted enzymes for fermentation management and speciality carbohydrate conversion.

Raw-material flexibility

Go beyond conventional starch.

For alternative grains, fruits and plant materials, additional enzyme activities can help unlock more usable material.
