Classic 8 Turbo Yeast - the all-rounder

Classic 8 is the higher-yield all-rounder in the Still Spirits turbo range. Run it at 6kg for a fast, clean ferment or push it to 8kg when you want more spirit off a single wash. It performs well across most conditions, which is why it is such a popular workhorse.

• Works between 16C and 30C air temperature
• Ferments a 6kg wash in about 2 days at 30C, or up to 10 days at 16C on 8kg
• Choose your sugar load: 6kg for speed and a cleaner finish, 8kg for maximum spirit
• Handles peak-fermentation heat, so you avoid stuck ferments

What you add

Each batch takes 6kg of Turbo Sugar for a faster ferment, or 8kg for higher yield. Sugar is sold separately.

Turbo Carbon - cleans as it ferments

Added at the start of fermentation, Turbo Carbon uses an activated pore structure to pull out impurities that ordinary post-distillation filtering leaves behind. It lifts the performance of the yeast and sets up a cleaner wash from day one.

Turbo Clear - the step most beginners skip

This is where quality is won or lost. Turbo Clear drops into the finished wash and clears over 95% of yeast cells and solids within 24 hours.

Skip it, and those yeast cells rupture during the boil and dump off-flavours and odours straight into your spirit, along with the impurities your carbon worked to trap. Use it every wash and rack before you distil. Your finished spirit will thank you.

How to use it (start to still)

1. Dissolve your sugar in the fermenter and top to 25L (6kg Turbo Sugar (faster) or 8kg (higher yield)).
2. Stir in one sachet of Turbo Carbon, then pitch one sachet of Classic 8 yeast.
3. Ferment at 16C to 30C. Expect about 2 days at 30C on a 6kg wash, up to 10 days at 16C on an 8kg wash.
4. When fermentation finishes, stir in Turbo Clear and leave 24 hours.
5. Rack the clear wash off the sediment, then distil.

Yield you can count on

Still Spirits rated output, run through a Turbo 500:

• 6kg Turbo Sugar - approx. 3.7L @ 93% ABV per batch
• 8kg Turbo Sugar - approx. 4.5L @ 93% ABV per batch

Across the full pack, that is 5 batches of consistent, high-quality neutral spirit ready for your essences and flavours.

Storage and shelf life

Store cool and dry. Each sachet carries a minimum of 6 months from purchase, and keeps for around a year past the printed date if you refrigerate it. Buying a multipack and storing it cold is the easy way to always have a batch ready to go.
