Prestige Turbo Yeast and Rise Time

Rise time refers to how long it takes for yeast to initiate fermentation; with higher alcohol content leading to faster results.

Yeast needs nutrients in order to thrive and perform at its full potential, and those grown on refined sugar tend to lack essential minerals and vitamins present in grains and fruit, so their growth cannot reach its fullest potential resulting in less alcohol being produced and more volatiles than desired, altering the flavor of your beverage and potentially ruining its taste.

Prestige Turbo Yeast contains a combination of yeast and specially formulated micro-elements, minerals and vitamins designed to ensure fast and clean fermentation. Its high alcohol tolerance and temperature tolerance make this yeast suitable for fermenting many beverages.

Turbo Yeast’s nutritional mix also contains the enzyme glucoamylase, which breaks long chains of sugars down into shorter ones so the yeast can convert them to alcohol more readily and reduce dextrins that could contribute to low osmotic pressure and slow fermentation.

Attaining optimal results requires pitching yeast into a wash that has been chilled to the exact temperature specified on its packaging. Pitching yeast early or too late may result in slow fermentation or infusing unwanted flavors such as sulfur that is undesirable in both smell and taste. Regular stirring during fermentation helps remove oxygen while simultaneously decreasing pH levels, helping achieve maximum fermentation success.
