Alcotec 24 will produce very clean alcohol with a minimum of off-flavours. Your spirit will normally need treatment with activated carbon for maximum quality but you may well find that your charcoal lasts longer because of the clean alcohol produced.
We recommend using Vinland Essences when flavouring your homemade vodka. This is a small, very high quality range of the core types of spirit essences.

Home alcohol ethanol moonshine distillation has never been simpler! Prepare your wash as usual, add one Alcotec Turbo Pure 24 (turbo yeast), sit down with a cold beer and watch the explosion happen.... Not only does the Alcotec Turbo Pure 24 ferment faster than anything else on the planet, it also produces superclean vodka out of your reflux still, ready for treatment with activated carbon filters and essences. Forget what the home distillation handbook says about temperature sensitivity! Alcotec 24 will work fine between 20-30 C (68-86 F). It will ferment 6 kgs of sugar to 14% alcohol in only 24 hours.

Instructions: Pour 21 litres of 40 C (104 F) water into your fermenter. Add 6 kgs of sugar and mix well until completely dissolved. Then add 1 sachet of Alcotec 24 and stir for one minute. Leave to ferment in 20-30 C (68-86 F), optimum is 25 C (77 F). IMPORTANT: Do not use an airlock (you will understand the reason for this once you have seen the fermentation). You may need to adapt this instruction depending on the legislation in your country and in some countries making wash / distilling using a reflux still (pot still or other still) can be completely illegal, it may only be legal to use activated carbon water purification systems - not for alcohol. Always check your legal position before using our products. |

Stacking: Don't even think about it. This turbo will overheat if you try it on 50 ltrs and up. You may think the result is still ok, especially if you tweak it by adding a bit more water / bit less sugar - but you will get some residual sugar (i.e. not 14% alcohol but less) and you will have to wait for longer than 24 hours. A better option is to use our Alcotec 48. This turbo will handle stacking slightly better but you will still have to tweak it a little bit (suggestion is to add max 6-7 kgs of sugar per 25 litres and don't ferment over 100 litres). You may still get some residual sugar but the overall result will be better. |
