Black Bull Turbo Yeast For Fruit-Infused Vodka
Your choice of yeast for fermentation will have an immense influence on the final alcohol content of fruit-infused vodka. The higher its tolerance is, the greater will be its ABV (alcohol by volume).
Homebrew supplies stores stock an assortment of yeast strains suitable for crafting wine, beer and spirits. Talk with one of the store staff members about your desired sweetness and ABV levels and they will suggest an ideal yeast strain to meet these goals.
Turbo yeast is an ultrafast fermenting strain designed to quickly ferment sugar/water mixtures to produce pure alcohol (ethanol). Unlike traditional brewery yeast, turbo strain is highly alcohol tolerant and produces minimal methanol during fermentation, making for an efficient process that gets your product on store shelves as soon as possible.
Black Bull Turbo Yeast, however, should only be used with simple sugar/water solutions and is incompatible with complex materials like molasses or whiskey – making it less ideal for advanced spirits such as moonshine or whiskey production.
Turbo yeast allows you to achieve great results by carefully adding ingredients during fermentation. Add fruit, herbs, or spices such as coconut for an island feel, or cinnamon for comforting warmth if making a rum-based beverage.
