What enzyme is used in All beers (portfolio-wide program; individual names not listed)?
Abnormal Beer Co. uses Clarity Ferm, a brand of the AN-PEP (Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase) enzyme. It is added during fermentation, where it cuts gluten proteins at proline sites. Brewers typically adopt it to prevent chill haze rather than to reduce gluten.
