Description
Samuel Willard’s 48hr Turbo Yeast is a temperature-tolerant fermentation yeast designed to perform reliably across changing conditions. Its flexible formulation makes it particularly useful when ambient temperatures vary, providing a practical year-round option for preparing sugar-based alcohol washes.
For home spirit makers in warmer regions such as Far North Queensland, temperature tolerance can be especially useful when maintaining a tightly controlled fermentation environment is difficult.
Temperature-Tolerant Fermentation
Temperature has an important influence on yeast performance. Samuel Willard’s 48hr Turbo Yeast is formulated to cope with a broader range of fermentation conditions than a high-speed formulation intended primarily for rapid fermentation.
This makes it a versatile choice through changing seasonal conditions and particularly useful when temperature stability is difficult to maintain.
Designed for 48-Hour Performance
The formulation is designed to complete fermentation in approximately 48 hours under suitable conditions while providing greater temperature tolerance.
Actual fermentation time can vary depending on wash temperature, sugar concentration and other fermentation conditions. Always follow the directions supplied with the yeast and confirm fermentation has finished before clearing the wash or moving to the next stage.
