Anyone know of this product WLN-4300? The documentation says it aids in liquefaction of starches in adjuncts (aka adjunct starches in corn, oats, and wheat) in the absence of enzyme rich barley malts. Says it uses a bacterial alpha amylase.

1) not clear on what exactly liquefaction is, but i understand it falls between gelatinization and sacchrification on the mash scale.
2) i understand this enzyme may play a roll in starch conversion as it is an alpha amylase.
3) wondering what se if any it might have in aiding GF mash efficiency and wort fermentability alongside other enzymes like eg kraus' diatase, etc.

Thanks!
