Classic 8 is a yeast and nutrient mix that performs excellently under most conditions. It is the best all-rounder Turbo Yeast, specifically formulated to ferment 8 kg (17.6 lb) of sugar for high ABV, or 6 kg (13.2 lb) of sugar for fast fermenting. Classic 8 also includes mineral absorbents which further improve distillate quality.

Fermentation Time:

6 kg (13.2 lb) Turbo Sugar
• At 18°C (64°F): 3 days
• At 30°C (86°F): 2 days

8 kg (17.6 lb) Turbo Sugar
• At 16°C (61°F): 10 days
• At 25°C (77°F): 5 days

Yield (approx.):

• With 6 kg (13.2 lb) Turbo Sugar using the Alcoengine Reflux Condenser: 3.7 L (0.98 US Gal) @ 93% ABV (186 Proof)
• With 8 kg (17.6 lb) Turbo Sugar using the Alcoengine Reflux Condenser: 4.5 L (1.19 US Gal) @ 93% ABV (186 Proof)

Contents:
1 x 240 g (8.4 oz) Classic 8 Turbo Yeast

1 x 130 g (4.5 oz) Turbo Clear
1 x 130 g (4.5 oz) Turbo Carbon

Mixing Instructions:

1. Clean and sanitise all equipment before use.

2. Prepare water making sure you end up with 20 L (5.3 US Gal) for 8 kg Turbo Sugar or 21 L (5.5 US Gal) for 6 kg Turbo Sugar at the correct water start temperature (indicated on the back of the sachet).

3. Now add sugar, and stir until completely dissolved before adding Turbo Yeast and Turbo Carbon.


4. Turbo Clear Part A: Once fermentation is complete, stir the wash vigorously to remove the gas. Once degassed, add the contents of Part A and stir well, then leave to stand for 1 hour.


5. Turbo Clear Part B: After 1 hour, slowly pour Part B evenly over the top of the wash while stirring gently to help spread it evenly. Do not stir vigorously as this will disrupt the clearing process. Leave to clear for at least 24 hours. During this time Part B will drop down from the top, taking unwanted yeast and other compounds with it to the bottom.

Classic 8 Turbo Pack

"I haven't been distilling very long and I can't be bothered mucking around with tomato paste or weetbix etc. Have found this to be easy to use and has given me good results."

Brian M. (5/5)

It's all good!

"Peeps bag out SS Turbo yeasts… I know there is better, but at what cost? It does the job just fine! 10kgs of Dex, 28lytes total volume and then down to . 986ish. Clears fast and I can get my stripping run done within 10 days if I have to but I’m not in a rush. Def Recommend!"

Classic 8 turbo oack from still spirits

"Of all the turbo yeast packs available this one is the most consistent and productive that I've used but mostly I prefer to use during the colder months of the year. Works best at a consistent 24 degrees and with out ambient temperature control held as such you may suffer lower than prescribed yields"
