TURBO YEASTS
Still Spirits turbo yeasts are the finest on the market, creating pure top, quality spirits. Turbo yeast is a mix of dry yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and nutrition optimised for the yeast.
There are many different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and this is where the difference in most distilling yeasts lies. Our strain is specifically chosen for its ability to produce quality alcohol and is packed with nutrients that are optimised for providing precisely the right combination of nitrogen, vitamins and trace minerals which the yeast needs in the different stages of the alcohol’s fermentation process.
Still Spirits Turbo Yeast also contains pH buffers and antifoaming agents to ensure you get excellent results no matter your experience.
What makes Still Spirits Turbo Yeasts so unique?
The yeast strain we use is a temperature-tolerant, versatile strain able to withstand extreme stress factors (such as temperature, ethanol, etc.) and still achieve exceptional ethanol yield when used in the right conditions. This means that even those new to distilling can achieve excellent results right from their very first still.
Purity – is always an essential factor for distillers. The more pure alcohol that is produced, the less filtering is necessary. A balance between purity and volume has to be considered, as well as the capacity and the cost to filter. In short, the more nutrients present in the yeast mixture, the more off flavours you are likely to get.
Our turbo yeasts’ various nutritional additives included with the yeast have been optimised to give superior yield and quality within a respectable fermentation period.
Speed – Consistently Still Spirits Turbo Yeasts to reach final gravity (FG) quickly to allow you to distil and enjoy your alcohol as soon as possible. Plus, enjoy a higher alcohol yield with a low FG. Our Turbo Yeasts will help you achieve the results you are looking for.
Temperature tolerance – Many customers don’t have the capacity or want to invest in refrigerated fermenters to control temperature. Internal temperatures increase as the yeast gets to work, and over a specific temperature, it affects the viability and efficiency of the yeast to convert the sugar to alcohol. Temperature-tolerant yeast, such as our Turbo Yeasts, can handle excessive temperatures and other stress factors yet still deliver excellent ethanol output.
Choosing the Right Yeast
Turbo yeasts ferment sugar into alcohol wash. There are five Turbo Yeasts to choose from. Each one is specially formulated to work excellently in specific situations – your specific climate conditions or your desired alcohol outcomes. Each Turbo Yeast contains a mix of yeast and nutrients to make 25 L of Wash and produce alcohol that is extremely low in by-products.
Questions to ask yourself when choosing a Turbo Yeast:
- What sugar substrate are you using? i.e. Glucose Syrup/Dextrose/Molasses/Starch converted grains etc.
- What volume of alcohol are you trying to make?
- What will you want to do with your end spirit?
- What temperature conditions are you fermenting in?
