Alcotec 24 turbo yeast will go from zero to 14%ABV in around 24 hours if the ambient temperature is correct. Because of the very powerful fermentation we recommend not to use any obstructions such as airlock etc.

Because of the internal heat generated during the explosive fermentation, it is important to avoid too high of an ambient room temperature. If you have an area with an ambient temperature of 18℃ - 22℃ that will work well. Below 18℃ the fermentation may slow down and not finish in 24 hours. Above 22℃ and the fermentation may create off flavours.

The best liquid temperature is 25C (temperature of the wash, not the ambient temperature) but this is difficult to achieve this without good temperature control.

Alcotec 48 Turbo Yeast is a state of the art formula based around a "pure" yeast strain which is temperature and high alcohol tolerant. With the unique precisely composed nutrition, containing the nitrogen source, pH regulator, trace minerals, vitamins and an antifoaming agent, it is the perfect yeast compound for creating a high alcohol wash.

It has a "dual" use, you can either use it for 20% (21% in special circumstances) alcohol in 5-6 days, or 14% in 48 hours (hence the name). The alcohol level is simply determined by the amount of sugar you add at start. Alcotec 48 includes mineral absorbents for ultra purity.

Turbo Carbon’s unique activated internal pore structure removes impurities that are not taken out by post distillation filtration. Use with any Turbo Yeast for a cleaner, smoother tasting spirit. Continue to filter after distillation choosing from the range of Still Spirits activated carbon products.

IMPORTANT: Always use Turbo Clear after fermentation to remove solids before distillation. If Turbo Clear is not used, the impurities . trapped by Turbo Carbon will be released during the boil.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before opening, massage the sachet to ensure it is lump free.
2. Add immediately after adding your choice of Turbo Yeast.
3. Stir well to disperse.

If Turbo Clear is not used and yeast cells are added to your boiler, the cells will break open during the boiling process releasing off-flavours, smells, impurities absorbed by fermentation, clays and carbons back into the distillate. For the very best alcohol quality use Turbo clear in every wash and rack carefully before distillation.
