Prestige Turbo Yeast

Prestige Turbo Yeast contains the perfect blend of minerals, nutrients and energy that allows it to grow, produce proteins and complete its many enzymatic reactions required to make alcohol. Our unique formulation ensures vigorous fermentation with an outstandingly high alcohol content in its final product.

Ingredients used in our fermentation process consist of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium) combined with quality-enhancing additives that produce an extremely effective fermentation process that leads to rapid alcohol production of 14%-20+% alcohol production – significantly faster than traditional methods and saving both time and money in production costs.

Fermentations that become stuck can have many causes: it could be that one uses the wrong strain of yeast; uses one other than what was recommended; does not meet temperature tolerances, or meets water specifications correctly; temperature tolerances do not meet specifications, temperature is exceeded etc. However, all these issues can easily be rectified with proper instructions, common sense and equipment.

Black Label Turbo (or any other brand of Turbo) in hot countries with 7.5 kg sugar may cause stuck fermentation if liquid temperatures rise beyond 38C due to nutrition tailored specifically around 6 kg sugar and not 7.5 kg.

Keep in mind that Turbo yeasts do not produce vodka – only clear, neutral spirits. Through distillation, alcohol is extracted from fermented washes to create vodka or moonshine.

Prestige Turbo Yeast and Baking Techniques Hobby and small scale distillers commonly employ turbo yeast in their processes, as it has been specifically developed to rapidly ferment alcohol to achieve higher alcohol concentrations quickly. As it contains essential nutrients that regular dry yeast cannot, turbo yeast performs much better than standard distillers yeast; producing clean alcohol washes free of harmful flavour compounds like Acetaldehyde.

As with any living organism, yeast requires proper care as a living being that can easily be damaged or killed in certain environments. Packages will often specify recommended temperature ranges to adhere to in order to avoid slow fermentation and/or build-up of foul smells (Sulfur in particular). It is best to hydrate yeast first in water so as to activate and stimulate its metabolism before adding it into a wash, thus awakening dormant cells from their dormancy and activating further growth.

Turbo Yeast’s core ingredients include yeast and sugar starch, along with nutritional supplements essential for its peak performance, such as nitrogen, vitamins, and minerals. These essential elements allow rapid fermentation processes without straining yeast cells too quickly or creating undesirable flavors during rapid fermentation phases.

Some turbo yeasts also include Trehalose as a “start sugar”, providing energy during fermentation and helping it multiply more rapidly while shielding against osmotic shock during multiplication. This enables rapid multiplication and protects cells against osmotic shock during this phase.
