Instructions

Turbo Yeast - Page 4 of 4

1.Instructions for making more than 200 Litres using
Prestige Batch Yeast or Black Label yeast. The larger the volume,
the more difficult it becomes to keep the liquid temperature below the
lethal 37°C. The best number of sachets to use is shown below.
We offer three separate measurement charts:
Metric, United States, and UK

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LARGE VOLUME FERMENTATION:

  1. Dissolve required amount of sugar into the
    same volume of hot water (e.g. use 48 Litres
    hot water to dissolve 48 Kg sugar). Make sure
    the sugar has completely dissolved before continuing.
  2. Top up to final volume with cold water, continue to stir until the liquid specific gravity is 1090.
  3. Make sure the liquid temperature is below 25C then add relevant number of Prestige Batch Yeast or Black Label yeast
    sachets. Continue to stir until no more yeast particles are visible.
  4. Allow to ferment at 15-20C air temperature for 3 days.

MAKE SURE THE LIQUID TEMPERATURE IS KEPT BELOW 35C THROUGHOUT FERMENTATION.
Introduce frozen CONTAINERS of water after 12 and 24 hours to reduce liquid temperature if necessary. You can also try to add 1/3 of the sugar first and the rest 2/3 after 1-2 days.

2.I do not recommend the use of high alcohol
Turbos for any volume above 25 Litres.
For larger volumes the
liquid temperature must be tightly controlled between 24 - 26°C and
this will not be possible in practise even by the most experienced
people. You can test to split sugar in 2 feedings or use a
Pot Distillers Yeast per 50 liters, more at www.home-distillation.com .
