How to Troubleshoot Problems With Prestige Turbo Yeast

Many are wary of using Turbo Yeast due to rumor of poor flavor and high alcohol levels, yet in reality Turbo Yeast can be one of the most powerful tools for still builders. Thanks to modern fermentation technology, larger volumes can now be fermented quicker – perfect for tight production schedules! To prevent problems from arising with your batch size and temperature range. For optimal results always adhere strictly to instructions.

Turbo Yeast users often encounter issues due to either depleted nutrients, incorrect temperature regulation or inadequately stirred mashes or washes for extracting nutrients, leading to insufficient amounts of dissolved oxygen being present and consequently poor fermentation results.

To prevent depletion of nutrients in your mash or wash, you need to add liquid nutrients like yeast energizer or booster. These will increase nutrient intake, helping the yeast extract more sugar from your mash or wash. If there is an unpleasant odor emanating from the mash or wash this could be caused by high levels of acetaldehyde due to slow or incomplete fermentation; usually caused by improper separation between foreshots and heads.

For maximum effectiveness, Turbo Yeast should be pitched at the exact temperature indicated on its package. Furthermore, stirring of your mash or wash should occur frequently to increase oxygenation and eliminate any acetaldehydes that have formed in your process.
