  • Where Can I Buy Prestige Turbo Yeast?

    Bitter & Esters was founded by Douglas Amport and John LaPolla in 2011, as a homebrew supply shop that provided knowledge, expertise, and passion for the art of brewing. Today it stands as an influential community and educational hub driven by staff enthusiasm as well as customer commitment.

    Contrary to other turbo yeasts, this one is osmo-tolerant and can be mixed directly with sugar solutions without prior soaking in water – pre-soaking can cause cell osmotic pressures to become so different from outside that the yeast explodes, potentially leading to product losses and product waste.

    The Turbo yeast package features a high-grade strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast – one of the most frequently used strains for alcohol fermentation – along with nutrients designed specifically to convert sugar to alcohol, essential vitamins and trace minerals necessary for rapid and clean fermentation processes. All these elements will allow your yeast to flourish for faster and cleaner fermentation processes.

    This 8 kg pack of turbo yeast will allow you to ferment 25 litres of sugar into 18%-20% alcohol in five days, depending on its temperature tolerance. Therefore, it is crucial that instructions are strictly adhered to so as to avoid overheating of your batch and ensure rapid fermentation with pure alcohol output.

  • Alcohol Distillation and Its Role in Celebrations

    Alcohol distillation is one of the most widespread human methods used to create spirits, beers and wine. Distillation mixes raw materials with water before heating it to its boiling point in order to produce ethanol vapor which condenses into three liquid components known as heads, hearts and tails which can then be collected and sold – this process dates back thousands of years as Queen Cleopatra used it herself in creating perfumes and balms using cedar, cypress, ginger and myrrh.

    Under vacuum (at pressures lower than 1/10 atmospheric), distillation eliminates azeotrope, permitting full separation to 100 percent alcohol. However, due to differences in vaporizability between water and alcohol requiring an extremely high reflux ratio of more than 20 in order to achieve this result – raising this ratio increases product purity but requires more energy consumption.

    Once neutral spirit, most often produced through heart cutting, has reached room temperature, distillers examine its alcohol content and purity. If too low, they may redouble distillation efforts until their desired alcohol percentage has been achieved; or add water to dilute and bring down to an acceptable percentage.

    As anyone interested in designing a small fuel alcohol plant should know, understanding its basic principles and how it operates is paramount to its success. Furthermore, selecting and evaluating equipment, systems and controls required for such projects requires great care – this publication covers these topics along with safety precautions as well as general selection criteria to assist when making informed decisions about alternatives.
