If you want a pure, high alcohol fermentation then this is the product for you. Capable of fermenting 6-8kg of sugar in 25L wash in just two days with minimum volatile production yeast plus special anti-volatile producing agents and nutrients designed for rapid fermentation, this temperature-tolerant yeast can ferment even at ambient temperatures as high as 95 degrees; furthermore it can even be used in larger batches in distilleries with temperature controls.
Prestige Turbo Yeast Black Label contains an all-inclusive mix of nutrients designed to fuel yeast’s growth and fermentation, including amino acids, enzymes and minerals that support its survival – essential additions before fermentation begins!
Fermentation is a complicated process and there can be several reasons it goes awry: incorrect yeast (often baker’s yeast), low nutrient levels, overheated fermentation solutions or temperature shifts during fermentation can all have negative impacts, sometimes stopping before completion.
Contrary to other fast-acting yeasts that only ferment mono sugars like fructose, glucose or dextrose, our most popular 18% Turbo can also ferment sucrose (ordinary white household or castor sugar). Its easy use involves dissolving your desired amount of sugar into 8 liters of hot water before topping off to 25 litres with cold water before adding your Prestige Turbo Yeast packet and leaving to ferment – easily reaching 18% and sometimes 20% alcohol within 10-14 days!
