Black Bull Turbo Yeast For Whiskey Making

When it comes to producing whiskey in a pot still, you need special yeast called turbo yeast that is both temperature resistant and can tolerate higher alcohol concentration levels than its regular counterparts. By adding turbo yeast your distillery will begin fermenting much more quickly than with its standard brewing yeast counterparts.

Typically speaking, there are various varieties of turbo yeast available online or in stores for purchase. Each produces almost no methanol during fermentation – an essential factor as any trace of it could compromise your product and lead to unpleasant flavors or smells.

If you want a quality turbo yeast for use with your still, one which can ferment up to 15% ABV within three days will save time in your distilling process. This fast fermentation time also cuts costs.

The Black Bull Turbo Yeast for whiskey making is designed to work in temperatures that are warmer than what most other turbo yeasts can tolerate, and comes equipped with a pectic enzyme packet to facilitate fruit fermentation faster and extract sugars needed for fermentation.

To use Turbo Yeast, dissolve 6 to 8 kg of sugar in hot or boiling water until all of it has dissolved, before topping up to 25 liters and adding an individual Turbo Yeast sachet. Stirring carefully afterwards, allow fermentation between 20-28 degrees Celsius between 3 and 5 days (3-7 for 8kg of sugar) before refrigerating at room temperature (typically between 3-5).
