Description

Brutzyme by CellarScience is an enzymatic blend used to produce dry beers. Perfect for making Brut IPAs or any other style where a low gravity, dry finish is desired.  Amyloglucosidase, alpha amylase, and pullulanase combine to enable the hydrolysis of starch and dextrins into fermentable sugars that yeast can ferment.

Use:
Add 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons at the beginning of fermentation. Brutzyme can be added directly to the fermenter at the same time yeast is pitched. Works best at a temperature range between 50-68°F and a pH of 4-5.5.

Additional Notes:
Brutzyme is a mix of amyloglucosidase, a-amylase, pullulanase and other dextrinases capable of breaking down the α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic linkages of starch, dextrins and oligosaccharides completely into fermentable sugars. Brutzyme is extremely affective for making very dry beers, especially Brut IPAs. Store at temperatures under 70°F.

The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

Just learning to mash so sometimes I get a little unconverted starches in the fermenter. Hope this can pick up my slack until I get better at conversion.

Experimenting with low carb beers. This seems to have the right enzymes to do the trick.

Say you want a drier beer, but not a 1.000 beer, can a lower dosage or other method get you to, e.g., 1.005 with a high starting gravity?
George B on Aug 9, 2022
BEST ANSWER: George,

I've brewed a couple of beers with Brutzyme and you should expect the enzyme to continue to work until it is denatured or all of the dextrins and starches are hydrolyzed to fermentable sugars.

My latest batch was a split 10-gallon batch of a Bell's Light Hearted Ale clone. Both fermenters started at 9.5 P (1.038 SG). The batch with Brutzyme added to the fermenter - as recommended by Cellar Science - finished at -0.2 P (0.999 SG). The non-Brutzyme batch finished at 3.0 P (1.012 SG).

However, I also brewed an earlier 5-gallon batch of an American Light Lager. I added the Brutzyme during the mash as the recipe recommended. The OG was 9.6 P (1.038 SG) and the FG was 1.5 P (1.006 SG). My assessment is the mash addition had only a limited time to act before the enzyme was denatured by the wort boil.

While I haven't confirmed with Cellar Science that the wort boil denatured the Brutzyme, my results may be sufficient for you to try a mash addition on your next batch.

Cheers,

Robert

Does this work similar to Beta Amylase?
Albert D on Mar 25, 2024
BEST ANSWER: yes it does, but this one is recommended for the fermentation step, while beta is mainly for mashing

Easy and Effective.
The liquid format and easy dosing instructions make this a breeze to use. I use it to dry out beers and avoid the dreaded maltriose freeze which can occur with extract beer fermentation. I made a Two Hearted clone with extract and added this at start of fermentation. The yeast blew past 1.020 with problem! OG:1.069. FG:1.011. I added two drops in 6 gallons of wort. This is now part of my regular brew day tools.

Works as advertised
added recommended dose to 5 gal Blonde Ale that would normally give me a FG of 1.008. This took it to 1.003. I just kegged it so the taste test is still pending but so far works as advertised.
