1. A process for producing fermentation products from starch-containing material comprising the steps of:
i) saccharifying the starch-containing material using a glucoamylase at a temperature below the initial gelatinization temperature;
ii) fermenting using a fermenting organism;
wherein at least one polypeptide having beta-1,6-glucanase activity and at least one polypeptide having endo- and/or exo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity are present or added during saccharifying step i) or fermenting step ii).
