Alcotec 48 Turbo Yeast is one of the world's best-selling turbo yeasts, built to ferment a simple sugar and water wash to high alcohol quickly and cleanly, ready for distilling.

It is based on a pure, temperature-tolerant distiller's yeast strain with its nutrition already blended in, so you only need sugar and water.

Key features

  • Pure, temperature-tolerant, highly efficient yeast strain
  • Complete nutrition included: nitrogen, pH regulator, trace minerals, vitamins and an antifoaming agent
  • Mineral absorbents for extra purity
  • Two ways to use it: up to 14% ABV in 48 hours, or up to 20% ABV in 5-6 days - the more sugar you start with, the higher the alcohol

Specs

  • One sachet ferments up to 8 kg of sugar in 25 litres
  • For sugar and water washes only - not for beer or wine

How to use

Dissolve your sugar fully in water, add the sachet and keep the wash warm while it ferments. Clear it with Klar finings before distilling for the cleanest result.

Who it's for

Anyone making a neutral base spirit who wants a fast, reliable and clean wash.

Complete the set

Please note: in the UK, distilling spirits requires a licence from HMRC.
