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.

A Step-By-Step Guide to the Alcohol Distillation Process

Distillation of ethanol is an integral step to creating high-quality alcohol. Many have taken to distillation at home as a cost-cutting measure and to enjoy more freedom over what goes into their product. Distillation can be dangerous if performed incorrectly; here is a step-by-step guide on how to safely distil your alcohol beverages at home.

Step one in creating quality alcohol involves gathering the necessary ingredients for the mash. A mash is composed of water and sugar mixed together with yeast that will eventually ferment into alcohol, with quality ingredients being key in creating premium-quality brew. Therefore, when selecting ingredients to use in creating your mash it’s essential that they come from trusted suppliers to guarantee an end product of exceptional taste and texture.

Once the mash has been created, it’s ready for distillation. Distillation involves heating the mash to separate out alcohol from water and other impurities, using a still that comes in various shapes and sizes; each type offers its own set of advantages and disadvantages before purchasing one. Before buying any still it is wise to conduct proper research so as to purchase the ideal still for your needs and budget.

Once the mash has been heated and its alcohol separated from water, a second distillation called a “spirit run” must occur to remove remaining impurities such as acetaldehyde that causes hangovers; its low boiling point means it clings closely to alcohol molecules making separation from pure ethanol difficult. Once complete, this final product becomes high proof spirit that can be used for various applications.
