PRESTIGE VODKA PROFESSIONAL Active Dried yeast with Amyloglucosidase for the most effective fermentation of grain mashes.

Vodka Yeast Blend with AG - Prestige Professional Vodka Yeast Blend with AG is a specially selected pure fermenting Vodka yeast strain with the addition of Amyloglucosidase and the essential minerals and nutrients missing from a grain mash in order to offer the best environment for the yeast.
This results in the cleanest possible fermentation while improving the speed and temperature tolerance of the yeast.
Unlike other so named 'vodka' yeasts, Prestige Professional Vodka Yeast Blend with AG was developed specifically to produce extra high-grade vodka from an all-grain mash, and is not simply a Turbo Yeast.
It includes only the nutrients not brought into the mash by the grain, ensuring that there are no residual nutrients or minerals which lend off-flavors to the finished product. The result is a world class vodka.
Due to the small nutrient / mineral mix included with this yeast, it can also be used for extra clean fermentation of mid-gravity sugar mashes to 14.5% in approximately 7 days.

RUM YEAST for Molasses Fermentation

Prestige Rum Turbo yeast is a special yeast strain and mineral/nutrient mixture adapted specifically for molasses fermentation.

Each 62gm packet to ferment 25 litres..$7.50

Turbo yeast is a complex mix of yeast and nutrient which will ferment a pure sugar solution into alcohol. Quality Turbo yeast is specifically designed to ferment a mash producing less volatiles to 20% alcohol (temperature control isessential to reach this level of alcohol)

To function, yeast also needs amino acids, enzymes and minerals which collectively are called 'nutrients'. Quality Prestige Turbo yeasts are a complex mix of yeast and nutrients to give superior fermentation results. Furthermore the strain is grown under sterile conditions to ensure absence of bacteria, which would otherwise influence the quality of the alcohol. Pure bacteria free yeast also keeps down volatile production.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PRESTIGE TURBO YEAST:
There are some Turbos that only ferment with mono sugars, like fructose, glucose or Dextrose, forcing customers to purchase more expensive 'special sugars'. Prestige yeast will ferment (the two sugar) sucrose, which is ordinary white household sugar or castor sugar, with the same speed and purity as with mono sugars. So it is not important to purchase the most expensive sugar when using Prestige Turbo yeast.

PRESTIGE 8KG TURBO :

We are especially pleased to recommend Prestige 8 kg Turbo alcohol yeast. This yeast ferments eight kilos of sugar in a 25 liter mash. While ordinary fast acting yeast produces 12-13% final alcohol, Prestige 8 kg Turbo Yeast produces 18%, and often 20%, an increase from the usual alcohol yield of at least 50%.

Instructions: Pour 8kg sugar into 8 litres of hot water and stir until dissolved. Top up to 25 litres with cold water and stir. Make sure temperature is below 30 Celcius then add the sachet of yeast . Stir for 1 minute

For MAXIMUM alcohol and BEST quality results, ferment 10-14 days at between 19-23 Celcius air temperature . For maximum speed - Ferment 5 days at between 24 - 27 Celcius.

Overheating of the yeast is more prevalent in large quantity ferments. This is applicable to any Turbo yeast. Those customers who have dropped their mash ferment to smaller quantities have discovered this for themselves. Higher alcohol and a purer mash is achieved if fermenting no more than 22-25 litres in the mash ferment. If you wish to ferment larger quantities we recommend Black Label batch fermentation yeast

BLACK LABEL 14% alcohol yeast ferments the purest of all our Turbos

This yeast is Suitable for large volume fermentations (batch fermentations)

Instructions for large volume fermentation: Make sure the liquid temperature is below 25¡C (77¡F) then add relevant number of Turbo Yeast sachets. Continue to stir until no more yeast particles are visible. 4. Allow to ferment at 20-25¡C (59-68¡F) air temperature for 3 days. NB. MAKE SURE THE LIQUID TEMPERATURE IS KEPT BELOW 35¡C (95¡F) THROUGHOUT FERMENTATION. Introduce frozen containers of water after 12 and 24 hours to reduce liquid temperature if necessary. Effective for at least 12 months extra if kept in refrigerator.

Pot Distillers yeast 18%

Pot Distillers yeast 18% can ferment fruit brandy, fruit schnapps, grappa, brandy and other mashes to 18% which greatly improves taste after distillation, and gives a better yield. It's a hit with all schnapps distillers. Also, it can sometimes be used to ferment larger batches to 18% alcohol by using one sachet to 50 liters of sugar or fruit mash (half dosage). This is normally impossible with high alcohol Turbos: they ferment violently and produce so much heat early in the process that the yeast dies.

Advanced Liquid Fining System for Wine & Pre distillation washes.

Fining A: Kieselsol: Kieselsol liquid is negatively charged and settles out the positive charged particles in wine or pre distillation washes.

Fining B: Chitosan liquid: Chitosan is a non-proteinaceous fining agent derived from Chitosan extracted from shellfish.
It works by a process of molecular adsorption where chitosan has an electric charge which attracts oppositely charged particles clouding the wine or wash, by binding with them an pulling them out of suspension

Spirits Colour

Used with clear spirit to give a delightful caramel colour without adding flavour.

Low dosage is needed (starting at 0.05ml per litre) and colour starts as a pale yellow, to light brown, then dark brown through to almost black. Colour is made for liquor and ethanol resistant up to approximately 80% by volume., depending on quantity used.
