Prestige Turbo Yeast

This strain of yeast is ideal for creating dessert wines and high alcohol brews, fermenting up to 18 percent alcohol by volume (AVB) while extracting fruit flavors efficiently. This fermentation method also makes this strain ideal for producing high quality vodka, wine, alco base beverages and fruit schnapps products.

This strain ferments quickly and has good temperature tolerance, making it suitable for use in climates where other strains struggle to grow.

This brewing and distilling yeast is exceptionally robust and has an exceptionally high tolerance to osmotic pressure, meaning that it can be added directly to sugar solutions without needing to soak first like other brands of dry yeasts – making its use much faster and more cost-efficient than its rival turbo yeasts.

Osmo-tolerant dry yeast strains like S. cerevisiae offer several key advantages over other varieties; not only will they survive fermentation without dying off at its conclusion, but can be reused again in another batch – an invaluable asset in an age where high temperatures often kill other dry strains off prematurely.

This yeast works effectively with both monosugars such as fructose, glucose and dextrose as well as sucrose, an everyday household sugar. Furthermore, it performs admirably in mashes that do not require sulphur dioxide for fermentation; other yeasts often struggle in these situations. For maximum freshness and optimal performance it comes packaged in a nitrogen flushed foil pack to maintain freshness; any reuse once nutrients have been depleted can result in stuck fermentation processes.

Answer: Turbo Yeast stands out with superior fermentation capacity, reduced volatiles and odour production, excellent temperature tolerance and osmotic tolerance, as well as rapid alcohol fermentation under controlled conditions – reaching 14% to 20% alcohol yield!

What sets this yeast apart is its strain and combination of nutrients, which promote vigorous fermentation and high yields under appropriate conditions. Thanks to its superior osmotic and temperature tolerance, this yeast can be directly added to sugar solutions without pre-soaking – thus avoiding the potential osmotic shock caused when water concentration differs more than several points from yeast cell concentration differences.

Turbo Yeast contains an enzyme known as amylo-glucosidase that converts starch to fermentable sugar, an essential step for efficient fermentation of pure sugar/water solutions. If you are working with other types of sugar or materials such as molasses, an alternative yeast pack should be chosen instead.

This turbo yeast is designed as a “high density” version, meaning that it’s designed to ferment higher alcohol levels quickly in less time than its traditional counterparts. Fermentation time should take only 3 days; producing up to 14% alcohol, using 6 kg of sugar as needed – or under more controlled circumstances up to 20+% with 9kg required!
