Still Spirits Classic 6 Turbo Yeast - 25L Wash Distilling Yeast

Still Spirits Classic 6 Turbo Yeast. The clean, reliable turbo yeast behind a great neutral spirit. This is the single sachet - pitch one per 25L wash.

Classic 6 Turbo Yeast - the all-rounder

Classic 6 is reliably the best all-rounder in the Still Spirits turbo yeast stable. It is formulated to ferment 6kg of sugar with fewer by-products, so what comes off your still tastes cleaner with less work on the back end.

• Works between 15C and 30C air temperature
• Ferments out in roughly 4 to 5 days at 30C, up to 9 to 10 days at 15C
• Handles the extra heat a wash generates at peak fermentation, so you avoid stuck ferments
• Low maintenance from pitch to finish

What you add

Each batch takes 6kg of sugar or Turbo Sugar, or 7kg of dextrose. Sugar is sold separately.

How to use it (start to still)

1. Dissolve your sugar in the fermenter and top to 25L (6kg sugar or Turbo Sugar, or 7kg dextrose).
2. Pitch one sachet of Classic 6 yeast.
3. Ferment at 15C to 30C. Expect 4 to 5 days at 30C, up to 9 to 10 days at 15C.
4. 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. 3.6L @ 93% ABV per batch
• 7kg dextrose - approx. 3.8L @ 93% ABV per batch

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.
