Alcotec Whisky Turbo Yeast

Alcotec Whisky Turbo Yeast

Alcotec Whisky Turbo GA contains a highly complex, chemically defined macro and micro nutrition which together with the specially developed Alcotec TT Yeast strain is the only complete fermentation system capable of delivering 15% alcohol from a base  containing dextrins. Glucoamylase enzyme (GA) is added for converting dextrins into fermentable sugars. This product is typically used with recipes based on molasses, grains, potatoes etc. Note that starch conversion must have taken place before using the  Whisky Turbo (use Alcotec Alpha Amylase enzyme for this). Note that this product is identical to the Alcotec Vodka Turbo Yeast.
