We are especially pleased to recommend our new addition, the Alcotec 24 hour.

If you want to know more about the concept of turboyeast, here's your link:
Turbo Yeast - all about it .

You may have heard of 8 kg Turbo Yeast and in case you think this is a bit heavy here's the explanation: This type of yeast ferments eight kilos of sugar in a 25 liter mash (wash). While ordinary fastacting yeast produces 12-13% final alcohol, 8 kg Turbo Yeast produces 18%, and often 20%, an increase from the usual alcohol yield of at least 50%. Alcotec 8 was the first 8kg product in the world.

The Alcotec 8 and the Alcotec 6 has now been more or less replaced by the combined high alcohol / superfast turbo Alcotec 48 - you can either use it with a larger sugar addition and achieve high alcohol in 5 days, or with the normal 6 kgs/25 ltr and ferment your wash in only 48 hours. This is an amazing turbo for your still.

Calculations: 18 grams of sugar in a one-liter mash (wash), will after fermentation yield 1% alcohol. So, for example, for 25 litres of wash at 18% we need 25 x 18 x 18 grams of sugar = 8100 grams of sugar, or approximately 8 kg.

All Alcotec Turbos ferment very efficiently and although you need to follow the instructions, especially regarding fermenting temperature, carefully - you can always choose one of the temperature tolerant Turbo 's if you have a problem with high temperatures. The is an Alcotec Turbo Super Yeast for every use!
