Description
Pure Distilling Premium 8 Spirit Yeast is designed for producing high-alcohol washes for home spirit making. In particular, it is suitable for use with 8 kg of sugar or 9 kg of dextrose and can produce a wash reaching approximately 20% ABV.
Its formula supports low-odour fermentation while helping produce clean, smooth spirit quality. As a result, Pure Distilling Premium 8 Spirit Yeast is a practical choice for home spirit makers seeking a higher alcohol yield.
Furthermore, its urea-free formula provides another point of difference within the turbo yeast range.
High-Alcohol Fermentation
Pure Distilling Premium 8 Spirit Yeast is suitable for larger sugar washes where achieving a high alcohol content is the priority. For this reason, choosing the correct amount of sugar or dextrose is an important part of preparing your wash.
For best results, use either:
- 8 kg Sugar: Suitable for producing a high-alcohol wash.
- 9 kg Dextrose: An alternative sugar source for preparing your wash.
Both options are designed to produce a wash reaching approximately 20% ABV under suitable fermentation conditions.
Additionally, the low-odour formula helps make fermentation more manageable in the home environment.
Expected Spirit Yield
When using Pure Distilling equipment, expected spirit yields are:
| Distillation Equipment | Expected Yield |
|---|---|
| Pure Distilling Reflux Condenser | Approximately 4.5 litres at 93% ABV |
| Pure Distilling Reflux Condenser with Output Cooler upgrade | Up to 4.75 litres at 93% ABV |
For example, the standard Pure Distilling Reflux Condenser produces an approximate yield of 4.5 litres at 93% ABV. In comparison, adding the Pure Distilling Output Cooler upgrade can increase the expected yield to as much as 4.75 litres at 93% ABV.
However, actual results may vary depending on fermentation conditions, equipment and distillation efficiency.
