Questions & Answers

I was under the impression that amylase only worked at temperatures between 145 and 155 degrees Fahrenheit. In this case, does it work to break down complex sugar at a lower temperature?

At 155 degrees Fahrenheit, the enzyme Alpha Amylase is active. This contains Glucoamylase (Beta Amylase), an enzyme that works at fermenting temperatures.

Is there any esters or phenols produced by this yeast? The flavors produced by a wit or abbey yeast appear to be beneficial to rum. ?

What the yeast produces is a mystery to me. I believe it produces a mild flavor to keep the rum from becoming overpowering. br>br>However, the yeast reacts quickly with the sugars, resulting in a high-proof wash. It produces a high yield and some of the best high-quality rum I've ever tasted.

Is it possible to make a ten-gallon batch with this recipe?

It says 6 on the package. 6 gal. It will simply take longer to convert the sugar if you're doing a 10 gallon batch.

When it comes to temperature, what is the ideal setting?

The temperature should be between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius (77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit).

Why is it necessary to rush through the procedure? It does exactly what it claims to be able to do

4/5

In just four days, you'll be ready to distill. However, I made two five-gallon batches at the same time, one with turbo yeast and the other with regular distillers yeast (which took seven days to complete). The turbo yeast had a harsher flavor, whereas the regular distillers yeast had a much mellower and flavorful flavor. In addition, the regular yeast produced more alcohol per unit of volume. So I guess if you need it three days sooner, this is the option for you.

Definitely a turbo

5/5

This is the recipe to use if you need to make rum quickly. On your fermenter, don't even consider using a standard airlock. Make sure you have a blowoff tube handy because this yeast will quickly go crazy. At a temperature of around 68 degrees, fermentation takes about 3 days. When it's been run, I've gotten good flavor and a good yield.

Be wary of Rocket Turbo! I got this product because the yeast I was using previously stalled, so I added a little bit of this turbo yeast to a 6 gallon carboy and wow did it take off, about 1 gallon came out in the form of foam, but I collected it and put it in its own 1 gallon jugbr>br>I mixed this into my other batch and here is what I did and it workedbr>br>I poured about 3 tbsp in at the beginning and

I would strongly suggest it

5/5

I got WAY MORE than I expected from the final yield thanks to this outstanding yeast. A gallon and a quarter of rum was extracted from a six-gallon batch. The entire batch received a final proof of 130. My estimated ABV was only 13%. Because the yeast contains the glucoamylase enzyme, I was able to get so much more. I believe that the max ABV of 2015 is a little lower than what it can achieve. It's fantastic! I've already purchased it for a second batch. I would strongly suggest it.

The rum, on the other hand, turned out to be amazing! Our hydrometer read 7% with a pure molasses wash

5/5

We expected a lower than in 2015 due to molasses having fewer fermentable sugars than in 2015 . The rum, however, turned out to be fantastic after a little aging.
