Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast

Description

Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast is designed for home spirit makers looking to produce a clean alcohol wash suitable for vodka-style spirits. It offers flexibility when working with sugar, dextrose and other fermentable ingredients.

For best results, use 6 kg of dextrose to produce a wash reaching approximately 13% ABV. Alternatively, Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast can be used with sugar or other recipes containing grains, fruit or potatoes.

Recommended Ingredients

Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast is suitable for the following fermentation options:

• 6 kg Sugar: Suitable for preparing a standard sugar-based wash.
• 7 kg Dextrose: An alternative option for preparing a dextrose-based wash.
• 6 kg Dextrose: Recommended for best results, producing approximately 13% ABV under suitable fermentation conditions.

For recipes containing grains, fruit or potatoes, Alpha Amylase and Glucoamylase may also be required to help convert starches into fermentable sugars.

These enzymes are particularly useful when working with starch-rich ingredients. However, the preparation process will depend on your chosen recipe.

Mixing Instructions

1. Before starting, clean and sanitise all equipment. You will need a fermenter with a capacity greater than 25 litres, a stirring paddle and an airlock.
2. Prepare 21 litres of warm water at approximately 30°C.
3. Next, add your sugar or dextrose.
4. Stir thoroughly until the fermentable ingredients have completely dissolved.
5. Finally, add the Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast sachet and stir gently.

For best results, follow the recommended fermentation temperature and allow sufficient time for the wash to finish fermenting.

When using grains, fruit or potatoes, prepare the ingredients according to your chosen recipe before adding the yeast.

Fermentation Time and Temperature

Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast requires a minimum fermentation period of approximately 7 days.

However, recipes containing grains, fruit or potatoes may require additional fermentation time. Therefore, allow the wash to finish fermenting rather than relying solely on the number of days elapsed.

The recommended fermentation temperature is 20–25°C.

For best results, maintain this temperature range throughout the fermentation process.

Using Alpha Amylase and Glucoamylase

Pure Distilling Premium Vodka Yeast can also be used with recipes containing grains, fruit or potatoes.

When working with starch-rich ingredients, Alpha Amylase and Glucoamylase can help improve the conversion of starches into fermentable sugars.

• Alpha Amylase: Helps break down starches into smaller carbohydrate chains.
• Glucoamylase: Helps convert suitable starch breakdown products into fermentable glucose.

As a result, these enzymes can improve the availability of fermentable sugars in suitable grain- and potato-based recipes.

Always follow the instructions supplied with your enzymes and chosen recipe.

Clearing and Distillation

Once fermentation has finished, use Pure Distilling Crystal Clear according to its instructions to help remove suspended yeast and other unwanted particles before distillation.

Vodka-style washes may also produce foam during distillation. Therefore, use Still Spirits Distilling Conditioneraccording to its instructions to help manage foaming.

Always follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with your distillation equipment.
