Prestige Turbo Yeast

Fermenting sugar water using Prestige Turbo Yeast is the easiest and least costly way to produce high-proof alcohol, creating clean and pure alcohol that can easily be enhanced with essence or aromas of your choosing. While other yeasts only work properly with specific mono sugars like fructose, glucose, or dextrose (requiring you to purchase more expensive “special fermentation sugars”) this yeast will ferment sucrose (ordinary household sugar) as well as maltodextrin for fermentation purposes.

Fast-acting yeast like this one will turn 6 kg of sugar into 14% alcohol in just 24 hours! Plus, use it in 25 liter washes to reach an alcohol content of 18% or greater!

Distillers yeast fermentation requires specific amounts and varieties combined with specially chosen, chemically defined macro and micro nutrients in order to maximize speed and quality of fermentation. Yeast needs these specific vitamins in order to thrive at full potential – something not usually provided from refined sugar alone – while grain or fruit may contain some, but this alone cannot ensure high quality alcoholic beverages without additional supplements.

Contrary to most turbo yeasts, this strain does not need to be pre-soaked in water before being added directly to a sugar solution as it is osmo-tolerant and ready to go directly. Simply add it directly into your sugar solution and begin! Start gravity should be around 1.140 and finish between 1.055 – 1.060, for an alcohol content between 11-11% abv.

Yeast needs oxygen, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids in order to thrive; it also draws energy from sugar. Over time the yeast becomes depleted of these essential elements that must be replenished; after 30 minutes without proper feedings it dies off and fermentation ceases.

Our Turbo Yeasts have been developed specifically for use in continuous fermentation in home distilleries. Cultivated under sterile conditions and free from bacteria (which significantly decreases volatile production), they will quickly reach 14%-20% alcohol strength within 7 days!

Fermenting using high quality white sugar, specifically granulated as it has greater crystallization resistance. Once dissolved in water, dissolve your Turbo Yeast directly into this solution without prior soaking as this causes the osmotic pressure inside and outside cells to fluctuate which is toxic for yeast cells. Simply stir your sachet directly into the sugar solution.

Turbo Yeasts can quickly transform plain alcohol into your perfect drink with our essences and aromas, quickly creating delicious cocktails in no time at all. With multiple flavor profiles for both aroma and taste, there’s sure to be something suitable. To achieve optimal results we advise using only small amounts of essences; too much essence could lead to overpowering effects in your alcoholic beverage and lead to unpleasant tastes!
