Description
Classic is the best selling Turbo Yeast world-wide, performing excellently under most conditions. Classic has been further improved with the inclusion of new mineral absorbents, further improving distillate quality. We recommend you use Turbo Carbon as it will significantly improve the performance of Classic Turbo.

Best yeast on the market. Still Spirits leads this race. Highly recommend.
Stuff is awesome. works everytime.
After a few hours of activation time this yeast goes to work and doesn’t let up. Only at about day seven, using the 18% recipe, does it begin to slow down and finish. According to my hydrometer i’m on track with my present batch to yield over 19% ABV. Keeping the mash cool during fermentation is very important for a high yield. Unless the temperature is controlled the high metabolism of the “Turbo Yeast” will heat the mash to over ninety degrees Fahrenheit at which point the yeast will shut-down and stop producing (lock-up). Sixty-one to seventy-seven degrees Fahrenheit air temperature is ideal. I’ve converted an old refrigerator into a mash cooler. The highest temperature setting of the refrigerator is just about at mid-range between 62-77 degrees Fahrenheit. “Turbo Yeast” has exceed my expectations and i high recommend it.
Unbelievable turn around on fermentation from start to finish.
