Note particularly that it may be required to add fruit in your wash - or that you may only use activated carbon for water filters (water purification). This may apply to all types of activated carbon, whether powdered or granular, whether prefilters for reverse osmosis water purification, ultraviolet water filtration, ozone or any other water filters.

Alcohol treatment:
Turbo Yeast and temperature control

Some turbo fermentations are temperature sensitive, especially if you are using the older generation products like Alcotec 8, Alcotec 6 and virtually all competing products.

The important temperature is the liquid temperature. Air temperature is normally cooler because the fermentation activity produces energy - heat, inside the wash. There is a risk that the yeast kills itself with it's own activity by overheating (before it kills itself with alcohol - but that's another story).

For the new temperature tolerant generation turboyeasts like Alcotec 24 and Alcotec 48 you don't need to worry at all about temperatures. We cannot guarantee good performance in the Gibson desert but pretty well anywhere else.

The new Alcotec 24 - alcohol ready for distillation in 24 hours. Try it - your still will love it!

For many other products you need to control temperature so the liquid temperature stays below 30C (low alcohol products like Alcotec 6) or below 24-25 C for high alcohol products (like Alcotec 8). This will also be the case for virtually all competitor products so if you want to be on the safe side - use a temperature tolerant Alcotec and you don't need to read any further here..

The easiest way is to make sure the air temperature is low enough, (25C for Alcotec 6 and 21-22C for Alcotec 8). If you have a borderline case, try increasing ventilation so you can remove the heat from the container.

Turbo cooling - Here's an idea that actually works:

If temperatures simply are bad (your holiday cottage in the Gibson desert or wherever), put some plastic bottles (2-5 litres each) with water in your freezer. Then add them one at the time once fermentation has started and during the first 20-30 critical hours. Do NOT add them until fermentation has started properly (5-12 hours). You will have to experiment a bit and monitor the liquid temperature so it stays under the magic levels above.

Alcohol treatment centers mainly around keeping the temperature right during fermentation and during distilling. There is no working rehab if you get it wrong - your wash has to go down the drain, which is serious drug abuse.
