Turbo Yeast

Others report that Turbo Yeast may cause off flavors in their distillate while others believe if one follows the product specifications carefully they can get amazing results. It is very important to keep in mind that yeast requires nutrition like any living organism; sugar alone cannot sustain its existence so many packages come equipped with a mix of essential nutrient supplements as well as Turbo Yeast.

There can be numerous reasons for fermentation to become stuck, including choosing the wrong strain of yeast (typically baker’s yeast), having too low of a temperature tolerance or too high an alcohol percentage. A nutrient package provides support to enable yeast to overcome these hurdles and continue fermenting the wash or mash, as well as ensure no Sulphur is formed which would give off an unpleasant rotten egg smell and flavor.

Our yeast is of superior quality and has stood the test of time. You can judge its quality by its ability to quickly reach high alcohol content fermentation without producing off flavors associated with other cheaper brands’ mineral impurities. Mineral absorbents further ensure its cleanliness by neutralizing any off flavors created by mineral impurities found within its formulation.

This yeast is highly recommended for those looking to craft superior tasting vodka and fruit schnapps, as its extractive powers allow you to bring out all of the fruits’ unique flavors exceptionally well. Plus, its high alcohol fermentation levels (up to 18% or even 20% alcohol content!) means it works even with lower sugar mashes when given enough nutrients.

Where to Buy Prestige Turbo Yeast Our top selling product, Prestige Turbo Yeast can convert 6kg of sugar to 15% alcohol in 25 litres total volume while 8kg can yield 18%. Extremely temperature tolerant and ideal for fermentations taking place under harsh conditions, our very pure and clean fermenting yeast allows you to create your own customized drinks using any essences or aromas from our selection.

Turbo yeast is an exceptional all-round strain of yeast that can be added directly to sugar solutions without the need for pre-soaking, unlike other brands of yeast which deplete its osmotic pressure and therefore increase chances of death during fermentation.

Black Label Turbo Yeast is ideal for large batch fermentation due to its heat tolerance. Usually reaching 17% alcohol content within five days and suitable for producing fruit schnapps and alco base products.

Instructions: Simmer 6-8kg of sugar with enough hot water (eg, 48L for 48Kg of sugar) until its specific gravity reaches 1090. Add Black Label Turbo Yeast packets until no visible yeast particles remain and let ferment at 20-28degC air temperature for 3-5 days or until fermentation stops.
