Anyhow, someone please correct me where i am wrong. There are alpha and beta enzymes within malted grains. Temps. over about 170 will kill them. One breaks down long chain starches into smaller chains, and the other breaks it down farther into sugars the yeasts can easily use. The AG enzyme finishes the job for a lot of unfermentable sugar- starch chains, although the yeast can do a bit of that themselves. No, they are not a nutrient. DAP di ammonium phosphate, a common fertilizer, tomato, paste, boiled lees etc are good nutrients. Other ingredients like epsom salts are good, but depends on what you are makeing. Citric acid or acid blend is almost a necessity if not useing turbos. Many like Wade are much more knowledgeable about this than I. Much depends on what your grain bill is and what you are makeing. Best bet is to have a proven recipe for your run."
