Prestige Turbo Yeast

yeast requires specific nutritional support in order to thrive and reach its full potential, and distillers yeast alone is incapable of reaching this objective. Distillers yeast must be combined with ample amounts of nitrogen and vitamins from grains (mash), while sugar washes require extra help due to not providing these vital elements – that’s why Turbo Yeast comes in as a mixture of dried yeast, mineral/nutrient concentrates, and vitamin concentrates tailored specifically for fermentation of molasses or sugar fermentation.

No one knows when humanity first realized the benefits of supplementing distillers yeast with extra nutrients, but Gert Strand of Sweden is often credited with creating the original turbo yeast during the 1980s. Since then, technology has advanced significantly, with Hambleton Bard Ltd’s Alcotec brand becoming one of the main suppliers on the global market.

Turbo yeast packages typically come prepacked for 25 liters (6.5 US gallons), and should be used as such to achieve optimal results. Stretching it to larger batches may lower its alcohol potential proportionally due to slower fermentation rates; any opened packages must be sealed back up after opening to prevent contamination by air.
