Tea,

You might find this interesting ... it's old ... but still interesting:

http://www.jstor.org/stable/30057762?seq=1&

I never extracted enough potato starch to attempt a mash ... just fiddled around with cold water potato starch extraction in small test containers. It was pretty neat. I just used a cheese grater and let what basically amounted to to uncooked hash browns sit in a few pots of cold water. I was amazed at how the layer of starch formed at the bottom of the pots. I was going to get more aggressive and try using an old hand-crank meat grinder, but I got distracted by some other curiosities.

Anyway, if you like the old historical stuff like I do, you might get a kick out of the paper ... it was published in October, 1830.

Regards,
--JB"

"""No, not a chemical amylase. It is available by the pound from a direct competitor of BH. (I find it rather inappropriate to name other product vendors on a forum sponsored by a vendor)
""

I am a price shopper. Small diferences dont bother me but that direct competitors price is 4 dollars a pound more than brewhaus. It seems a mile too high."

I did not know that BH offered amalayse. With a dose of 1/1000 by dry weight of grain, it will be a couple of months before I need to restock.
