3. Product Overview

Still Spirits Classic Turbo Yeast is a high-performance active dried yeast blend, formulated with yeast nutrients, vitamins, and trace minerals. It is recognized globally for its reliability and efficiency, capable of fermenting 6kg of sugar in as little as 36 hours. This yeast can achieve up to 18% ABV when 8kg of sugar is used and exhibits excellent temperature tolerance. The formulation includes mineral absorbents to enhance distillate quality.

4. Setup

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly clean and sanitize all fermentation equipment, including fermenters, stirring utensils, and airlocks, before beginning the process.
2. Water Preparation: Prepare the required volume of water (typically 20-21 liters) at the specified start temperature. Refer to the operating instructions for temperature guidelines based on your desired ABV. Adjust water temperature using hot or cold water as needed.
3. Sugar Dissolution: Add the chosen quantity of sugar (6kg or 8kg) to the prepared water. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Yeast Addition: Once the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is at the correct temperature, add the entire sachet of Still Spirits Classic Turbo Yeast. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for optimal fermentation results. The specific parameters depend on the desired alcohol by volume (ABV).

Fermentation Chart

After adding the yeast and stirring, seal your fermenter with an airlock. Place the fermenter in an area where the air temperature can be maintained within the specified range for the duration of the fermentation period. Monitor the airlock for signs of active fermentation (bubbling).

6. Maintenance and Storage

• Storage: Store the unopened yeast sachet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Optimal storage conditions help maintain yeast viability.
• Post-Fermentation: Once fermentation is complete, the resulting wash should be processed according to your specific recipe or distillation method.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• No Fermentation Activity:
  • Check temperature: Ensure the water start temperature and ambient air temperature are within the recommended ranges.
  • Yeast viability: Verify the yeast sachet is not expired and has been stored correctly.
  • Sanitation: Improper sanitation can inhibit yeast activity.
• Slow Fermentation:
  • Temperature fluctuations: Maintain a stable temperature within the recommended range.
  • Insufficient nutrients: While Classic Turbo Yeast contains nutrients, extreme conditions or very high sugar concentrations might stress the yeast.
• Off-Flavors:
  • High temperatures: Fermenting above the recommended air temperature range can produce undesirable by-products.
  • Contamination: Ensure all equipment is thoroughly sanitized.
