Attenuzyme® Pro: Meet attenuation targets
Attenuzyme® Pro: Meet attenuation targets
Attenuzyme® Pro is a high-performing blend of glucoamylase and pullulanase that makes it possible to hit high attenuation targets in short reaction times, taking advantage of the synergy between these two enzyme activities during the hydrolysis of amylopectin and amylose, which lets you manage fluctuations in attenuation and create highly attenuated beers in a simple, cost-effective manner.
Here is what our customers say about us:
Key benefits:
Achieve desired attenuation
This product delivers predictable and targeted real degree of fermentation (RDF). It helps you to control the percentage of fermentable sugars you derive from starch. It allows you to increase fermentable sugars or maintain them at a specific level so you can achieve your desired attenuation.
Accelerate fermentation
By releasing more fermentable sugars in the brewhouse, this product supports the need to accelerate your fermentation times.
For ultra-light beers
With the synergistic activity in this enzyme blend you can hit high attenuation targets in short reaction times. That allows you to produce ultra-light beers.
Increase brewhouse capacity
This fast-acting product shortens mashing times. That allows you to increase brewhouse capacity while saving time and energy.
Information on use
This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations

Metric unit (per kg)
To achieve 75% - 80% real degree of fermentation
Weight dosage: 0.15g - 0.5 g/kg of grist
Volume dosage: 0.13ml - 0.43 ml/lb of grist
To achieve 80% - 90% real degree of fermentation
Weight dosage: 0.25g - 0.5 g/kg of grist
Volume dosage: 0.22ml - 0.43 g/kg of grist
Example dosing scenario:
To achieve a real degree of fermentation of 75% in a 10 Hl brew with 300 kg of grist, dose as follows:
0.15g/kg * 300kg = 45g of enzyme
(dose by volume: 45(g)/1.15(g/mL) = 39 ml)
Please note:
• Attenuzyme Pro® has a density of 1.15 g/ml
• It’s not possible to use over-dose the product.
• Real degree of fermentation rises with the dose, so the dose will need to be optimized for your target beer characteristics
Imperial unit (per pound)
To achieve 75% - 80% real degree of fermentation
Weight dosage: 0.068g - 0.23 g/lb of grist
Volume dosage: 0.059ml - 0.20 ml/lb of grist
To achieve 80% - 90% real degree of fermentation
Weight dosage: 0.11g - 0.23 g/lb of grist
Volume dosage: 0.096ml - 0.20 ml/lb of grist
Example dosing scenario:
To achieve a real degree of fermentation of 75% in a 10 bbl brew with 600 lbs of grist, dose as follows:
0.068g/lb * 600lb = 41g of enzyme
(dose by volume: 41(g)/1.15(g/mL) = 35 ml)
Please note:
• Attenuzyme Pro® has a density of 1.15 g/ml
• It’s not possible to use over-dose the product.
• Real degree of fermentation rises with the dose, so the dose will need to be optimized for your target beer characteristics
Attenuzyme® Pro is added in during the mash-in. The enzyme is added after the mash tun is about 1/4 filled, but it does not need to be precise. The most important is that there are some liquid in the mash tun before you add Attenuzyme® pro, so the enzymes can be evenly distributed, and does not get stuck in the bottom.
When you pour Attenuzyme® Pro into the mash tun, add the liquid slowly to get an even distribution.
The optimal temperature is 61°C (142°F), but Attenuzyme Pro® has a range of 50°C - 70°C (122°F - 158°F).
The optimal pH is 4.8, but Attenuzyme Pro® has a range of 4.8–5.5.
Recommended storage: 0-10 °C (32-50 °F). Packaging must be kept intact, dry, and away from sunlight. Please follow the recommendations and use the product before the best-before date to avoid the need for a higher dosage. Best before: You will find the best-before date in the certificate of analysis or on the product label. The product gives optimal performance when stored as recommended and used prior to the best-before date.
Your questions answered
As soon as possible after delivery, store your product at a temperature of 0-10⁰C.
Add during mash-in, pouring slowly so the enzyme is evenly distributed. Add when the mash tun is about one-quarter full. You don’t need to be too exact about this, just make sure there’s some liquid in the mash tun before adding the product. That helps ensure even distribution of the enzymes and stops them getting stuck at the bottom.
It is not recommended to use Attenuzyme® Pro in fermentation unless you have the capability to pasteurize the finished beer product before packaging. The reason for pasteurization is to deactivate any enzymatic activity and/or yeast in the finished beer, because the packaged beer may change in flavor due to the enzyme further breaking down dextrins. This could leave the beer with a sweeter flavor and/or with yeast fermenting these sugars, creating higher alcohol and carbonation.
How Attenuzyme® Pro Works

How Attenuzyme® Pro Works
Attenuzyme® Pro consists of both a glucoamylase and a pullalanse, which means that it can break down more complex molecules, such as amylose and amylopectin. The combination of glucoamylase and Novozymes' patented pullulanase technology, allow brewers to achieve highly attenuated beers, and get a high % of fermentable sugar.
