Description
Glucanase 5 kg – enzyme for better filtration and higher yield
Glucanase from Murphy & Son is an enzyme that breaks down beta-glucans. It is used in the mash to improve filtration, reduce viscosity and increase yield, and can also be used in fermentation and conditioning tanks and in malting. The 5 kg pack is intended for breweries.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
The enzyme is active between 40 and 75 °C, with optimum performance at 60 °C. The pH range is approximately 3.5–6.5, with optimum performance at pH 5.5. The exact pH optimum depends on process variables, including temperature, time and the nature and concentration of the substrate.
Dosage and addition
- Brewhouse (mash): add directly to the mash at 0.5–1 kg per tonne of grist, depending on the level of beta-glucans and the composition of the mash.
- Fermentation vessel: 7–20 ml/hl, depending on the gravity of the beer and the amount of glucan.
- Conditioning tank: 7.5–20 ml/hl.
- Malting: dilute into the chitting water and spray onto the malt at 0.05–0.2 % w/w on barley, or 0.5–2.5 ml per kg barley in the normal volume of chitting water.

Frequently asked questions about Glucanase
What does Glucanase do?
The enzyme breaks down beta-glucans. It reduces viscosity, improves filtration and can increase yield.
How much Glucanase should I use in the mash?
0.5–1 kg per tonne of grist, which is 0.5–1 g per kg of malt, depending on the level of beta-glucans and the composition of the mash.
At what temperature does the enzyme work?
It is active between 40 and 75 °C, with optimum performance at 60 °C and pH 5.5.
Can Glucanase be used after the mash?
Yes. In a fermentation vessel the dose is 7–20 ml/hl, and in a conditioning tank 7.5–20 ml/hl.
