NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
and accounted for on the HBD web page. THank you

From: "Doug Moyer" <shyzaboy at yahoo.com>
Subject: Beano - alpha amylase?

According to wikipedia, Beano contains the enzyme alpha galactosidase. Is
this the same as the alpha amylase that we use in brewing?

If so, could you use it to make a gluten-free beer with corn & rice? (Or
sorghum...)

What about beta amylase? Would you need that as well?

Brew on!
