Description
Samuel Willard’s 48hr Turbo Yeast is a temperature-tolerant fermentation yeast developed for Australian conditions. It combines fast fermentation with the flexibility needed to handle changing ambient temperatures throughout the year.
Whether you are preparing an alcohol wash during warmer summer conditions or through the cooler months, the temperature-tolerant formulation provides a practical choice for consistent home spirit making.
Temperature-Tolerant Fermentation
Temperature can have a significant effect on fermentation performance. Samuel Willard’s 48hr Turbo Yeast is formulated to operate across varying seasonal conditions, making it particularly useful where maintaining a tightly controlled fermentation temperature is difficult.
This versatility makes it a convenient year-round option for producing sugar-based alcohol washes prior to distillation.
Fast 48-Hour Performance
The fast-acting formulation is designed to complete fermentation in approximately 48 hours under suitable conditions.
Actual fermentation time can vary with wash temperature, sugar concentration and other fermentation conditions. Always follow the directions supplied with the yeast and allow fermentation to finish fully before moving to the next stage.
