Still Spirits Yeast Comparison

Still Spirits Classic Yeast

Classic is the best selling Turbo Yeast world-wide, performing excellently under most conditions. It is fast, capable of fermenting 6kg of sugar in 36 hours. It reaches 18% ABV where 8kg of sugar is used and has excellent temperature tolerance. Classic has been further improved with the inclusion of more mineral absorbents for improved distillate quality.

 Urea Free

Still Spirits Express Yeast

Express is the fastest Turbo on the planet, fermenting out 6kg of sugar in less than 24 hours and producing very good distillate quality. It is important that water start temperature is correct and only 6kg of sugar is used to get maximum speed.

Still Spirits Heat Wave Yeast

The only Turbo to use when the air temperature is above 33 degreesC. Delivers excellent quality alcohol in hot conditions. Heat Wave is also the only yeast we recommend for 'stacking'. Up to a 200l volume can be fermented using 8 sachets (providing the start liquid temperature and air temperature are both 20 degreesC).

Still Spirits Triple Distilled Yeast 

Triple Distilled Turbo should be used where ultimate alcohol quality is of primary importance. Only use where cool air temperature (between 18-24 degreesC) can be maintained. This is a revolutionary breakthrough in Turbo Yeast development making it possible to produce "triple distilled" quality alcohol in the home.

Best Results with Turboclear and Liquid Carbon  

Still Spirits Power 23 Yeast 

Power23 should be used where high alcohol strength is the most important thing. Fermtenting to 23% ABV in the wash will increase the still yield by nearly one third! Only use where cool air temperature (between 18-24 degreesC) can be maintained. Remember, the more alcohol produced by the yeast, the lower the final distillate quality.

Essencia Super 6 yeast 

Compared with other Yeast's, essencia Super 6 produces higher quality alcohol in greater quantity per kg of sugar. It will tolerate a wide temperature range and, being urea free, provides the user with a healthier option.
Will ferment 6kg of sugar in a 25lt wash out to around 15%ABV.

Additives

Still Spirits Turbo Clear

Turbo Clear should always be used to clear the wash before distillation. Within 24 hours over 95% of the yeast cells, solids and other unwanted compounds are removed from the wash. 
If yeast cells are not removed they will break open during boiling, releasing off-flavours and aromas into the distillation, reducing distillate quality. Likewise, absorbant materials such as powdered activated carbon and clays must also be removed from the wash before distillation, otherwise what they have absorbed will simply be released again during boiling. 

Still Spirits Turbo Sugar 1kg

This blend of sugars and carbons has been developed specifically for use with Still Spirits Turbo yeast. The special blend of carbons continually treats the wash during fermentation to ensure fewer unwanted by-products in the final wash for imporoved distillate quality.
