Prestige Turbo Yeast can provide fast-acting, clean fermentation with less byproducts that results in superior tasting spirits, making this Danish turbo yeast perfect for beginner distillers looking for quick start up times and high yields. Furthermore, this special formula ensures cleaner fermentation at warmer temperatures than other standard beer or wine yeasts allowing faster results and cleaner spirit production.
Instructions advise adding the yeast directly to a sugar solution rather than pre-soaking, since this particular strain does not need soaking for activation and workability. Doing this also saves both time and money as pre-soaking utilizes valuable nutrients that would otherwise go towards fermentation instead.
Turbo yeast can be used with all commonly available white household sugars as well as the more expensive glucose and fructose sugars; however, to ensure proper fermentation the sugar must first be thoroughly dissolved before adding yeast. Common causes for failed fermentations include using an incompatible sugar type that doesn’t dissolve easily, low temperatures, depleting nutrients quickly or killing off the yeast with too much osmotic pressure.
