Abstract

A method of preparing a wort with an increased level of free amino nitrogen (FAN) comprising: a) preparing a mash from a grist comprising malt and/or adjunct; and b) adding a M4 mettalloprotease obtainable from Actinobacteria; and wherein the amount of free amino nitrogen (FAN) in the wort is increased as compared to a wort produced in the absence of the M4 metalloprotease.
