Turbo Yeast: Alcotec 8 is the most extreme superyeast you can find when it comes to high alcohol production (making moonshine using a reflux still).
Alcotec 8 got its name from the fact that it will ferment 8 kgs of sugar in a 25 litre solution. Alcotec 8 is a high alcohol Turbo Yeast producing 20% alcohol by volume in only 5 days - another impossible achievment from Alcotec.
Temperature range is 12-24 C (54-75 F). The optimum temperature is just under 24 C (75 F), at lower temperatures fermentation will take more than 5 days and at higher temperatures, fermentation will stick and the result will be less alcohol.
If you want to make 20% moonshine alcohol in higher temperatures, use Alcotec 48 instead. It will work fine but it will take more than 5 days.
You may need to adapt the instruction for this turboyeast depending on the legislation in your country and in some countries making wash or making moonshine using a reflux still (or other, like a pot still) can be completely illegal. Always check your legal position before using our products.
For flavouring of your spirit we recommend using Vinland essences, a small but very high quality range.
