Amylase enzyme as a substitute for malt
    #28898045 - 08/02/24 06:25 PM (5 months, 12 days ago)

So as almost everyone here is aware of using light malt for agar recipes, it got me thinking. I also enjoy homebrewing and have amylase, which is simply a natural extract from malt. With this, I'm wondering, would it be a sufficient substitute for malt, or are there other compounds that the LC would need for nutrients?

Yes its fine. Lc doesn't care if it's grain water, Karo, potato water, cricket water as long as there no antifungal in it and you sterilization and other clean factors you should be good to go.

Amylase is an enzyme. Enzymes are proteins. I believe mycelium needs carbs.

Amylase specifically is an enzyme that breaks down starches into sugars. Why it is helpful on brewing. You probably brew with all grain rather than extract. The amylase helps break the brain down into sugary extract.

Pretty sure it would not work. At least not very well.

'X is a subset of Y so X = Y' is very strange logic

cake contains baking soda so can I serve baking soda instead of cake at my wedding?

Nice gif.

Amylase breaks down the starches in the GRAIN.
