Yeast are extremely resilient organisms and can withstand many factors, yet some conditions can cause fermentation to stop occurring, including low levels of phospholipids that bind oxygen molecules or low temperatures tolerance. To counter these problems we’ve added trehalose to each sachet of Prestige Turbo Yeast so as to maintain high concentrations of these essential chemicals and ensure successful fermentation is achieved.
Ferments often stall due to insufficient nutrients. There are various essential vitamins and minerals needed for optimal yeast performance that cannot be provided through grain alone; most come from within the yeast itself during cellular respiration and must be present for its metabolism and conversion of sugars into alcohol; without these nutrients the yeast would produce more volatiles, slow down fermentation time further or potentially die off altogether – we have included a complex blend of these vitamins and minerals into each packet of Turbo for maximum yeast performance!
Turbo yeast can be added directly into a sugar solution without first needing to be soaked – unlike some other strains which must first be soaked first. Soaking destroys part of the osmotic pressure differential between inside and outside cells of yeast cells, killing off their lives and rendering our sachets ready-for-use at any given moment.
