Enzymes enable high-FAN recipe to use low-FAN malt

Case study: Learn how this brewer used enzymes to ensure a good FAN supply even when using under-modified malt. 

Challenge

International brewer wanted a high RDF brand

Constraints in providing sufficient FAN through malt caused challenges for this international brewer to brew its highly attenuated beers. 

The wort, composed of 40% maize grits and 60% malt, was brewed at high gravity. FAN levels and FAN quality were critical input to fermentation.   

Solution

FAN Boost™ Pro enhances low FAN malt for brewing

We recommended FAN Boost™ Pro and an adjustment to the malt mash regime. This enabled the brewery to process low FAN malt for its high adjunct, high RDF brand. The solution met all target brand specifications at the bright beer stage.

    Overcoming raw material quality variations

    Challenge: A country-wide ban on barley import led to significant variation in raw material quality. This meant poor production efficiency for the international brewer, and poorer quality of the final products.

    Existing setup yields more brewing capacity

    Challenge: A regional brewer wanted to boost brewing capacity without investing in more fermenters. Could they reduce fermentation times, without compromising on beer quality?

    More CapEx or more optimal process?

    Challenge: An international brewer had insufficient capacity in the fermentation/storage area. They needed to find extra capacity to increase volume and meet demand.
