Still Spirits Pure Turbo Yeast Pack

Pure Turbo should be used where ultimate alcohol quality is of primary importance. Only use in conditions where a cool air temperature (between 18°C) can be maintained. This is a revolutionary breakthrough in Turbo Yeast development making it possible to produce “triple distilled” quality alcohol in the home. It is essential to use Turbo Carbon with Triple Distilled Turbo Yeast.

When is it best to use this yeast?

This is the ideal yeast if you are using a small table top still like the Air Still. This yeast, when used in conjunction with Turbo Carbon, is designed to achieve a neutral spirit after distillation, with minimal aftertastes and smells.

What is in the pack?

This pack contains the Pure Yeast (to convert the sugar into alcohol), Turbo Carbon (to help absorb any fermentation smells) and Turbo Clear (to help clear the spirit wash prior to distillation).

How to use the pack

Add 6 Kg standard sugar (7Kg Brewing Sugar) to 21 litres of warm water at 30-40C and stir until dissolved. Add the yeast and Carbon. Leave to ferment for the required time (about 7 days). Add Finings A and stir thoroughly to mix and degas. Leave for at least 1 hour before adding Finings B – stirring gently until packet is empty. Leave the wash to clear for 24 hours. When clear, siphon off the sediment and the wash is ready to use.

How much alcohol will this produce?

The final alcohol that the fermentation will produce is around 14% abv. The yeast is not designed to produce high alcohol strength but instead to generate a spirit wash of the highest quality.
