Alcotec Turnbo Yeast 48
Alcotec Vodka Star Yeast 66g

Alcotec Vodka Star Yeast 66g

£1.99

Alcotec VodkaStar turbo yeast contains a high purity yeast strain, chosen for its ability to create very clean and neutral alcohol from a sugar/water wash. It will ferment to 14% in 5-6 days. Note that for making vodka from grains, you also need enzymes to break down starch components into fermentable sugars. If you use grains, rice or similar in the recipe – use Alcotec Vodka Turbo with GA instead and you may need to pre-treat the wash with Alpha Amylase enzyme. Temperature range is 20-25°C for maximum purity but it works up to 35 °C

    Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – Exceptional strain for full fruit varietal and country red wines promoting good structure, balance and colour.

    The majority of yeast strains strip out fruit flavour and colour from the must, not so with VR21 which is particularly noted for preserving and retaining the natural fruit characteristics of the grape / country fruit and enhancing palate length.

    VR21 is a relatively neutral strain producing subtle levels of aroma and flavour compounds, allowing full expression of varietal / country characteristics whilst enhancing colour, wine structure and balance.

    VR21 is an ethanol tolerant killer strain, capable of fermenting to 15% abv. ethanol. Good production of glycerol, low volatile acid production, zero sulfur dioxide formation and low foaming.

    VRE21 is capable of fermenting between 59 – 86°F but best results are achieved when a temperature between 68 – 75.2°F is maintained, unless cold fermenting is desired for flavour/aroma development.

    Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – The ‘only strain’ for Germanic aromatic white wines.

    AW4 is a good fermenter across the range 14 to 30ºC (57 -86ºF), low foam formation and medium to high glycerol. It will ferment up to 14.5% abv. ethanol providing the temperature is held within the 20 – 25ºC (68 -77ºF) range and the pH is above 3.0

    Rehydration

    During yeast manufacture, special processs are employed to promote very high leveles of the natural compound – Trehalose within the yeast.

    Trehalose is a natural sugar produced within the yeast cells to protect itself during prolonged storage and stress conditions.

    The very high levels of trehalose acheieved also remove the need for re-hydration before adding to must or wort – there is now no advantage in doing this even for high alcohol wines.
