Only just picked up on this very interesting post DaaB...
Any more tries with this?
Dry Beer Enzyme

moorsd
Has anyone tried this stuff to restart a stuck fermentation?
I've just ordered some from Hop & Grape as I've suffered my first ever Stuck fermentation with my Pilsner Urquell clone!!!
Think I was a little hasty on lowering the temp and it's stuck at 1.025!
Tried giving it a stir and raising the temp by a couple of degrees yesterday, but checked it just a minute ago and it's the same reading as before
(althouogh there is activity in the airlock, albeit slight??)
Thought I'd give this Dry Beer Enzyme a go before pitching some more yeast?

Yeah amylase or B-glucanase - same stuff as in your malt during mashing.
"The enzyme which breaks down beta-glucans, which hold together branced starch molecules. This term is most commonly associated with George Fix, who championed the now famous 40/60/70 mashing schedule. The 40C rest breaks down beta-glucans, which in turn has been shown to give higher extraction yields."

Something to be said for multi temp rests
Actually I think I'm losing the plot/
amylase: A group of enzymes (alpha amylase, beta amylase) present in most malted grains which are responsible for converting starches in the grain into both fermentable and unfermentable sugars. Each enzyme has a specific temperature range in which it is most active. The allgrain brewer steps her mash through a series of temperature rests in order to activate these and other enzymes.

so thats B-glucanase, alpha- amylase and Beta- amylase utilized in mashing to digest starch. God knows which one is in that sachet.

I have a bitter that has finished a bit on the sweet side and I was considering using this stuff until I read this post.
According to Murphy & Son this resillient little bugger doesn't even get destroyed by pasteurisation
What I may try is preparing some more yeast in a starter and pitching at full krausen to see if I can get the little blighters to devour more of the remaining sugars.
This seems a little drastic though. For an ale, I'm not sure I want to go from having a little too many dextrins to having noneAs some of
you have found out it ferments ALL dextrins in the beer
