Craft Distilling Turbo Yeast | High Extreme Alcohol 23% (EA)

The media could not be loaded. This yeast really is "turbo".I'm using it for homemade wine although it says it's more for creating alcohol bases for distilling.My first gallon had me worried because after I set it up, I came back the next morning and didn't see any bubbles, turns out it finished the sugar overnight.After giving it a quick shake it ended up spilling from all the carbonation. Added some more sugar and 15 minutes later it was bubbling this much (see vid).I tried some of the overflowing foam and it was alright, but it was only on it's first 12 hours. Gotta wait the full length to really know if the taste is good. Might need to kill the yeast earlier than 22% if you don't want ultra-dry wine.

as described.

Great product, but the turbo clear arrived broken open.

I used this on my first distillation attempt and it worked better than expect with a sugar solution. The solution really bubbled furiously in the bubbler as this yeast devoured the sugar. My first run was a success, I think, largely because of this product.

First yeast i bought and is phenomenal, i used a half gallon old glass container. my kilju brew is typically ready after a week or a week and 1-3 days.

I was not pleased with the yeast content and it did not yield a hight above. And I dislike the carbon additive and turned everything completely black and after the clearing agent it was a light black or greyish color which was unacceptable for wine makingTotally disappointed!

Our package with the bulk champagne yeast was lost in the mail. We were on a bit of a time crunch.....so we got this to make sure that we had all 10 gallons our holiday Mead ready to ship to family and friends.Firstly, it works just fine. 28% ABV and the taste is surprisingly crisp and great even at that high level. Clean your stuff and handle your wash as if germs are fighting to get in. Temperature is super important, from when you throw in the yeast to the entire fermentation journey.The reason we gave 3 stars is all about the liquid carbon. It doesn't clear. Clearing agents A & B are filthy little liars. Black Mead. Bad stuff.....We extended time, agitated, reracked, agitated, reracked, used egg whites (decently effective if you end up where we did and did you know the french still do it?....) until we were finally able to bottle after 3 weeks of craziness trying to get rid of the gritty purple *stuff* that we made 10 gallons of. It has been triple filtered and has made huge progress.Currently our mead is a pale golden color and is mostly clear. There is still a hint of a slight gray hue, but only if you look for it. The flavor is really great, and we will actually be using turbo yeast again for our holiday batches. But, we will NEVER use the liquid carbon or clearing agents again. Ever. Never.

I've used my fair share of different yeasts over the years, including different brands of Turbo Yeast. This one might be the best of all the turbos that I have tried. Very surprised with how quickly it worked. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
