Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – Ideally suited for rich, full bodied red wines with exceptional flavour complexity.
Noted for exceptional depth and flavour complexity, R56 exhibits complex aromatics during fermentation conferring an old world quality which one might only expect from natural flora multiple strain fermentations.
Unusually for complex aromatic strains, R56 still respects the varietal character of the fruit and confers good structure and balance. R56 is also a high glycerol producing strain.
R56 is a medium rate fermenter with optimal temperature between 22 to 30ºC (72 -86ºF) which will ferment to 13.5% abv. ethanol.
Alcotec 48 Carbon Turbo Yeast is an especially developed extra pure variant of Alcotec 48 – the worlds best selling turbo yeast.
As with Alcotec 48 itself, it is based around a “pure” yeast strain which is a temperature tolerant, high alcohol distillers strain and a very precisely composed nutrient.
But we didn’t stop there, we have added a mixture of high specification activated carbons to push the limits of purity and odour-less fermentation.
The precisely composed nutrition, containing its own nitrogen source, a pH regulator, trace minerals, vitamins and an antifoaming agent, it is the perfect yeast compound for creating a high alcohol wash up to 20% but it can also be used for extra fast fermentations to 14% alcohol.
Comes in 175g sachets
This strain is known for it’s exceptional reliability and it’s ability to consistently deliver fresh, clean, crisp and robust ciders. It is a very low foaming strain that will ferment between 10 – 35°C, adhering to the ideal fermentation for cider; measured and steady. The flavour characteristics confered by this strain are neutral and clean meaning that the natural flavour of the fruit will be the prominant taste on the palate, guaranteeing a satisfying, well balanced cider. Overall, a classic cider yeast that will ferment to dryness with a delicious, powerful and refreshing fruity finish, perfect for making your own traditional European cider.

Alcotec Distiller’s Rum Turbo Yeast
73g sachets, suitable for 25 litre fermentations.
Contains both Turbo Yeast, Yeast Nutrient, Amylase Enzyme and Vitamins.
For grain or molasses based recipes, we have added a GA (glucoamylase) enzyme which breaks down dextrins which are leftovers from the raw materials after fermentation (grain, rice etc.).
For grain based recipes, you also need to pre-treat the wash with Alcotec Alpha Amylase Enzyme (see our Shop sold separately).
Contains complete nutrition for rapid fermentation.
Producing full, rich fruity aromatics, it also includes glucoamylase enzyme to break down and convert starch and carbs into sugars for optimum yield.
NOTE: Alcotec Distiller’s Yeasts are designed for use when making spirit in the more traditional way, ie from grain.
