Prestige Turbo Yeast Substitutes
Prestige Turbo Yeast replacements can help speed up fermentation and boost alcohol production from sugar or molasses wash quickly and more efficiently. They combine dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast with an ideal blend of nutrients specifically tailored for creating alcohol; including essential vitamins, trace minerals and an anti-foaming agent. There are five varieties to choose from; each offering unique speeds, purity levels and temperature tolerance characteristics.
Yeast cells need more than sugar for survival; they also require amino acids, enzymes and minerals produced naturally during fermentation as vital yeast nutrients – without these critical supplies fermentation would cease immediately. Gert Strand AB’s Black Label turbo yeast provides this crucial source of essential yeast nutrients needed for rapid and successful fermentation – just one sachet of Black Label can quickly convert 6-8kg of sugar to 14% or 18% alcohol in just two days!
Assure a successful ferment by dissolving dry yeast in hot water before adding it to your sugar solution. This allows the osmotic pressure difference between inside and outside yeast cells to equalize before being added directly into sugar solutions, otherwise sticking may occur due to decreased levels of phospholipids; these provide protection from effects caused by osmotic pressure differences and should remain intact during fermentation.
