Not many people use these enzymes. As you have posted in the wine and cider forum, I presume you mean for breaking down something starchy to make wine. I did this once, back in March, to make 12 bottles of banana wine, but used alpha amylase as this is what was available at my local shop. I don't really have much else to say. It helps breaks down the banana flesh into something that is easier to strain, and it creates fermentable sugars.

Adding enzymes to the mash did not do a lot for me. You are better off adding it to the FV. Brought a lager down to 998 so you need to be careful in constructing your recipe.
