Prestige Turbo Yeast and Gluten Development

Prestige Turbo Yeast is an instant yeast designed to enable home distillers to create triple distilled quality alcohol at a fraction of the cost of professional equipment. It works across a wide range of temperatures and only requires 6 kg (13.2 lb) or 8 kg (17.6 lb) of sugar for high ABV fermentation or 8 kg (17.6 lb) for fast speed fermentation; additionally it features mineral absorbents to further enhance its quality in your distillate.

Hambleton Bard Ltd now manufactures and distributes this instant yeast, initially developed by Gert Strand in Sweden during the 1980s, under its Alcotec brand. Through laboratory testing, this instant yeast has been refined to achieve maximum results from yeast. Unlike cheaper store mixtures that don’t provide all essential nutrients necessary for its proper functioning; distillers yeast lacks this source of nutrition and needs to be supplemented accordingly.

yeast requires complex vitamins and minerals in order to successfully turn sugar into alcohol, making it impossible to produce quality spirits from regular baker’s yeast alone due to slow fermentation rates or insufficient amounts of volatiles like acetaldehyde that give spirits their distinctive flavor and aroma.

An effective blend of very high alcohol tolerant yeast and vitamins can turn sugar into fine liquor in three days using 14% strain, and up to 18% within seven for stronger strain. Temperature control during fermentation is critical as liquid temperatures differ from ambient air temperatures by several degrees and cause an osmotic pressure between inside and outside yeast cells that causes them to die if left alone; so use a thermometer gauge or thermometer and follow package instructions accordingly for best results.

Prestige Turbo Yeast and Safety

Prestige Turbo Yeast is an exceptional high alcohol fermentation formulation capable of fermenting sugar solutions up to 14% within 24 hours, using its combination of yeast and nutrients to achieve outstanding results. Perfect for smaller batch fermentation needs where both time and cost considerations come into play, this yeast makes an ideal choice.

The ingredients contained within the sachet have been blended and dried into a highly concentrated dry yeast solution, ready for immediate use in any mash or wash to accelerate fermentation and reach alcohol level quickly for distillation.

Follow instructions carefully for best results, or else the mash or wash could become compromised and lead to poor fermentation results. Failure to stir enough, overheat too quickly or ferment too quickly could deplete nutrients levels leading to subpar results from fermentation. Furthermore, keeping temperature constant throughout is crucial as failing to do so may cause slow start up times or even complete failure of yeast cells.

Fermentation creates acetaldehyde, which imparts a green apple taste and smell to spirits. For best results, vigorous fermentation helps remove this component faster; consequently, higher quality finished products result from faster removal. Turbo yeast can help speed up this process and thus decrease its presence in final products.
