No problem, as easy as it gets. The carbon I use is a pack that consists of 5 1/2 gallons of warm water, 18 pounds of table sugar, and 5 1/2 gallons of warm water. A bubble can last about 10 days before it is completely dissolved. Adding the clearing agent and waiting two more days should solve the problem. As a result, I am able to get 5 quarts of 190 proof. It has taken me many tries to get the same results in the past.
Whenever I have extra, I store it in the refrigerator. This has been going on for around a year. I find it to be very convenient. The freezing part is a little unclear.
It's a good yeast, so you can ferment any type of sugar with it. It is likely that you will need to add some amylase to rice mash to convert the starches, and you will not get the "turbo" rate, but it will still
To use the carbon, you will need one packet. In addition to the yeast, this goes into fermentation at the beginning. Then you need to do a Turbo Clear and it will stop bubbling. You should let it settle at least for a day as it is a two-part solution.

Using two packs for each of two 50 lb conical fermenters with 30 pounds sugar each, and one for each of two 5 gallon fermenters with 15 pounds sugar each. Upon testing it with a refractometer, the 5 gallon wash produced about 45% alcohol. Despite today's winds, that 10 gallon I checked today produced 57% of the capacity. After I thought my meter might need to be repaired, I checked various things, and it read true. I washed again and it also showed the same result. The turbo yeast packets I used allowed them to ferment for about a week or two. Is this a high-quality content for any other users as well? When yeast reaches 22%, I expected it to die. We're in the midst of a mad rush. I don't care which way you slice it. Having said that, I am pleased with the results.
It may not produce the highest quality product. Without Turbo clear, it takes 4 weeks for the mash to clear, however, so the advertised advantage of quick fermentation is lost. In order to achieve the very rapid fermentation that the big commercial operators attain, the temperature needs to be kept around 80F and the secondary fermentation that clears the byproducts of the rapid fermentation should be skipped. Yeast starters can also be adversely affected by this product because the large amount of zinc used as a nutrient can cause problems with yeast. By blocking the stirrer, it prevents it from working.
There were two different fermentations with this product. Both were infected with lactose from In our lab I tested a third package (I currently own a commercial brewery) and discovered that it was also contaminated. It is unknown how the sour affects the finished distilled product, however, because of bacterial competition, attenuation was essentially trash. There was no problem with brewery hygiene since we had run PCR on the tanks prior to brewing.
This yeast produces quite a bit of trub in comparison to the "Pure" strain from the same company, but it may not matter if you ferment in a flat bottomed bucket. The conical fermenter I use requires me to dump the trub ball twice (so a total of 3 trub balls worth of wash is thrown out) whereas the pure fermenter requires me to dump the trub ball once. In terms of fermentation time, it is pretty fast, from 3 days to 3 weeks The "Pure" will stay on for 5 days depending on the room temperature, but I will switch off with it.
I use it to make my own oil and gas. think it's the stainless steel still or the regulated heat stages I use, but with this yeast, I can make nearly perfect batches every time. I always get one runaway batch that lasts 72 hours or so. There is one that doesn't bubble after 12 hours and one that does after 24 hours Running four hours a day is exhausting for me I haven't failed a batch yet. Still, I haven't gotten a lot of failing batches. A few times stirring may be all I need to do when opening a bucket. It usually takes five days for them to be completed It takes two days when I only consume sugar unless I add fruit or something else, in which case it takes up to two days In a week.
Two of five sachets arrived with split seams, and most of the contents of one sachet spilled into the USPS envelope. Fortunately, I was able to quickly set up a fermentation batch to use up the spilled contents, and I was able to tape the seam of the other sachet with a minimal loss of contents (5g were lost from 185g.
It is best to buy this if you want alcohol as soon as possible. Sugar will be burned through in three days if you use this stuff. It is unhealthy and does have its downsides. As yeast will not clear on its own, two separate products must be used to clear the yeast. Your wash will also be left with some off flavors. One of the biggest problems may be the smell of sulphur, which can be remedied through the addition of The product is quick, but expensive. It excels in all areas except speed.
If you are buying multiples, you get a great deal. I had to deal with damaged packing due to the fast shipping. It's my first time ordering from you, but I'm sure to be doing.
