Description
The Still Spirits Turbo Classic 8 Distillers Yeast (TY001) is the industry-leading “all-rounder” for home distillation. Specifically formulated to produce high-purity neutral spirits, this yeast strain is renowned for its exceptional temperature tolerance and clean fermentation profile. Unlike standard yeasts that can stall in fluctuating environments, Classic 8 is designed to perform consistently in a wide range of ambient conditions, making it the most reliable choice for your wash.
This “Turbo” yeast is a complete fermentation system, containing a precise blend of high-performance yeast and complex nutrients. It is capable of reaching 14% ABV in just 48 hours (using 6kg of sugar) or up to 20% ABV in 7–10 days (using 8kg of sugar). The advanced nutrient blend ensures that yeast stress is minimized, significantly reducing the production of unwanted “fusel oils” and off-flavors. This results in a cleaner, smoother spirit that requires less filtration and carbon treatment.
Pro-Fermentation Tip:To achieve the highest possible purity, try to maintain a consistent liquid temperature around 68°F (20°C). While Classic 8 is heat-tolerant, a cooler, steady fermentation will produce the “cleanest” neutral wash with the fewest off-flavors. Always ensure your sugar is fully dissolved in the water before pitching the yeast to avoid osmotic stress on the cells.
