Prestige Turbo Yeast

Gert Strand developed two fast-acting Turbo yeasts. One is called Fast Acting Turbo Yeast and ferments 8 kg of sugar in a 25 L mash, producing up to 18% alcohol, often 20% or higher! Other Turbo yeasts typically only produce 12-13%. Furthermore, Fast Acting Turbo Yeast contains less congeners because its cultivation takes place under sterile conditions compared with others that contain bacteria or are grown without supervision.

This particular strain of yeast was specifically created for distillation applications and produces vigorous fermentation with no off flavors or odours resulting in an exceptionally pure alcohol base that can then be mixed with your favorite essences for your perfect beverage!

Turbo Yeast is highly resistant to high temperatures, alcohol levels and osmotic pressure – making it perfect for large batch fermentation. Turbo Yeast’s wide tolerance makes it the best choice when creating spirits from sugar or molasses and comes complete with a mineral/nutrient mix to aid the fermentation process.

Why do fermentations stick? One of the primary reasons behind stuck fermentations is improper yeast dissolution or conditioning – meaning its cells were devoid of protective phospholipids that allow it to resist high osmotic pressure – making them much more vulnerable to osmotic shock and thus more likely to stick than otherwise.

What Are the Advantages of Prestige Turbo Yeast? mes Prestige Turbo Yeast was specifically developed as a laboratory product to produce top quality results for home and small scale distillers alike. It combines distillers yeast with highly complex micro and macro nutrients designed to speed fermentation rate while increasing quality of finished product while eliminating fusel oils, unpleasant flavor congeners such as Acetaldehyde (known to cause hangovers!) production.

Distillers yeast needs specific nutrients in order to thrive and reach its maximum performance – sugar doesn’t contain these elements, so hobby distillers must add them. Turbo yeast’s nutrient package ensures all necessary food sources are available to its yeast so it ferments significantly better than standard distillers yeast on its own.

Turbo yeast’s success lies in its composition; specifically its high percentage of trehalose, an alcohol-tolerant sugar which allows it to thrive even at higher alcohol levels than would typically kill it. Furthermore, its content of phospholipids helps prevent osmotic chock by helping retain water within cells instead of it leaking out through cell walls and osmotic choke.

To use Turbo yeast, dissolve the desired volume of sugar in hot water until you achieve your final liquid specific gravity level, stirring well after each addition of sugar sachets until your desired batch size has been met. Ferment for 10-14 days at 19-23degC air temperatures for best quality results as temperatures above 27degC can lead to the death of yeast cells.
