Essencia Super 6 Ultra Pure Yeast

Description

Essencia Super 6 Ultra Pure Yeast is a professional distiller’s yeast designed for producing clean, high-quality alcohol washes for home spirit making. Its fully stackable formulation offers flexibility when preparing alcohol for a wide range of finished spirits.

With a broad fermentation temperature range and reliable performance, Super 6 Yeast provides a convenient option for preparing either sugar or dextrose washes. Additionally, under suitable conditions it can produce an alcohol wash reaching approximately 13–17% ABV within 5–7 days.

Fermentation Performance

This Essencia yeast is designed to perform across a wide range of fermentation temperatures. Therefore, it provides flexibility when fermentation conditions change throughout the year.

The recommended fermentation temperature is 20–35°C, while the optimal temperature is approximately 28°C.

The yeast can also tolerate temperatures as low as 15°C. However, fermentation performance and completion times will vary according to the conditions.

Higher temperatures within the recommended range can produce faster fermentation results. As a result, maintaining suitable conditions helps achieve the expected alcohol yield and fermentation time.

Recommended Ingredients

For a standard Essencia Super 6 wash, you will need:

• 1 packet of Essencia Super 6 Ultra Pure Yeast
• 6 kg white sugar or dextrose
• 10 litres of hot water for dissolving the sugar or dextrose
• Additional cold water to bring the total wash volume to 25 litres

Both white sugar and dextrose are suitable for this recipe. Therefore, you can choose your preferred fermentable ingredient when preparing the wash.

Mixing Instructions

1. Before starting, clean and sanitise your fermentation equipment.
2. Completely dissolve 6 kg white sugar or dextrose in 10 litres of hot water.
3. Next, add cold water until the total wash volume reaches 25 litres.
4. Then, check the wash temperature and ensure it is between 25°C and 35°C.
5. Once the correct temperature is reached, add the Essencia yeast packet.
6. Finally, stir thoroughly to distribute the yeast throughout the wash.

Once prepared, maintain the wash within the recommended fermentation temperature range.

Fermentation Time and Alcohol Yield

Under suitable conditions, the yeast can produce a wash reaching approximately 13–17% ABV within 5–7 days.

For best results, maintain a temperature of approximately 28°C.

Although the yeast can perform across a broader temperature range, fermentation may take longer at lower temperatures.In comparison, higher temperatures within the recommended range can shorten the fermentation period.

Therefore, allow the wash to finish fermenting before preparing it for distillation.
