Prestige Turbo Yeast

If you’re trying to craft vodka or moonshine from scratch, turbo yeast should not be your first choice. While it will likely work, without distillation your ferment will only result in strong dry sugar wine – and vodka requires higher temperatures to separate its chemical components and create its distinctive taste.

If you’re crafting vodka-type spirits, use either specialized brewing yeast or better still high alcohol grain yeast. Both have been designed to handle high alcohol fermentation processes and will produce much superior products than regular baker’s yeast found in shops.

High alcohol yeast differs from regular bakers yeast in that it produces far fewer volatiles and is extremely temperature and osmotic pressure tolerant – making it suitable for a wider range of mashes than standard yeast.

Ethanol TT yeast, more commonly referred to as distillers yeast, is one of the most popular of these types. This blend combines an alcohol tolerant yeast strain with an optimized nutrient mix designed for quick fermentations with high alcohol yield and minimal off-flavors and fusels production for clean results with minimal off-flavors and fusels production.

In order to use Ethanol TT yeast effectively, dissolve 6 kg of sugar in 8 liters (2 US gallons) of hot water before adding one sachet of turbo yeast and stirring in. Allow fermentation at 20-30degC air temperature.

Storage:: Once opened, this product should keep in your pantry for two years in its original packaging. However, for maximum shelf life we advise placing it in either your freezer or refrigerator to extend its shelf life by at least a year.

This fast-acting yeast is designed specifically for producing quality spirits and liqueurs using sugar water with added essences, producing 18-20% (sometimes 20%) alcohol within three days with far fewer congeners produced compared to baker’s yeasts.

This yeast is constructed with our “pure” new very temperature sensitive high alcohol distillers strain and includes our custom nutrition mix: nitrogen source, pH regulator, trace minerals, vitamins and an antifoaming agent; as well as mineral absorbents for ultra purity.

Contrary to some Turbo yeasts that require special, highly purified fermentation sugars, ours will work effectively with any form of sugar. You will achieve best results using dextrose (sugar with molecular structure similar to glucose), although sucrose also works perfectly fine.

yeast needs specific nutrients in order to flourish and survive. Because its energy sources do not come solely from sugar, yeast relies heavily on proteins, amino acids, enzymes and minerals which come together with it as part of its nutritional mix.

Turbo yeasts must be given access to our specially blended nutrients in order for them to produce alcohol at higher rates than usual. Our nutrients contain all necessary components so your yeast can extract and utilize all available resources resulting in enhanced growth and higher alcohol yield than when using just pure sugar alone.
