Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo Yeast

Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo Yeast is a high-performance turbo yeast designed for producing clean, high-quality alcohol washes for home spirit making. Its versatile formula allows you to choose between a faster fermentation using 6 kg of sugar or a higher alcohol yield using 8 kg of sugar.

Additionally, Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo Yeast contains a balanced blend of yeast, nutrients, vitamins and minerals to support efficient fermentation across a range of temperatures. As a result, it provides a reliable option for home spirit makers looking to produce a quality wash for distillation.

Mixing Instructions

1. Before starting, clean and sanitise all equipment.
2. Prepare your water, ensuring you end up with 21 litres at the correct starting temperature indicated on the back of the sachet.
3. Next, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
4. Finally, add Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo Yeast and Still Spirits Turbo Carbon, following the product instructions.

For best results, maintain a suitable fermentation temperature throughout the process. Also, refer to the instructions on the back of the sachet for the recommended starting water temperature.

Fermentation Time (Approximate)

Fermentation times depend on both the amount of sugar used and the temperature of the wash. Therefore, choosing the right combination allows you to balance fermentation speed with your desired alcohol yield.

6 kg Turbo Sugar – Faster Fermentation

8 kg Turbo Sugar – Higher Alcohol Yield

A 6 kg sugar wash generally provides a faster fermentation. However, increasing the sugar quantity to 8 kg allows you to produce a higher alcohol yield over a longer fermentation period.

Expected Yield (Approximate)

When using the Still Spirits T500 Reflux Condenser, expected spirit yields are:

• 6 kg Turbo Sugar: Approximately 3.7 litres at 93% ABV.
• 8 kg Turbo Sugar: Approximately 4.5 litres at 93% ABV.

However, actual yields may vary depending on fermentation conditions, equipment and distillation efficiency.
