Would you use only one third of a packet of Turbo Yeast

- In this video I explore using only one third of a packet of Turbo Yeast and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I use 1/3 pack of vodka turbo yeast for most vodka runs with 2 # of sugar per gallon in a six gallon wash. Works well and is quite neutral flavor even before filtering. Nice job on the video Cheers!
When I need a lot of product, I will be using TY. When I am on a low yield project I will be using Bakers Yeast. Nice to hear from you again Timothy.
Thanks for the research -exactly what I was after!
Thanks for the video, just getting started with this awesome hobby, and all info is useful
This is something I had always thought about but never done ,thanks for the great information
Hey Dave, glad you are enjoying the channel. With the packet of Turbo Yeast I would put it in a larger zip lock bag so as to allow you to properly mix all the ingredients together. Without doing so could mean not putting the right mix into your third cut.
Awesome! Glad to see it worked out well for you! Happy distilling 😎
Good on ya BZ
I'm trying this today - after being inspired by your results! Slightly modified - I'm just splitting the packet and happy to let it run a bit longer for double the yield
Just had a thought. I might experiment by using bakers yeast to get things initially moving, then top up with 1/3 turbo yeast to carry on. Slowly increase the volume by adding water-sugar solution at intervals so the yeast has oxygen during the aerobic stage, so it's guaranteed not to overwhelm the yeast with sugars and co2. I'll return and give you the results eventually. Have a great day.
how did it go?
How was it in the end
Another dreamer …
I have done this quite a bit in the past. I'd like to suggest that when you do it, pour the whole package into a bowl or other similar container and scoop out what you need giving it kind of a stir as you do it. I found the if I just divided it into thirds by pouring it out of the bag I got very different ferments between each vessel. One would start very quick while the other 2 took longer and one would ferment faster and to a lower gravity than the others. Seems you get more nutrients in one or more yeast in another. I now use a large 80 liter barrel and do 3 batches all in the one vessel.
All too overlooked and not appreciated - top comment underrated ! 👍
Thata awesome thanks so you only compensate with dap? Do ya put anything else in nutrient wise?
Great info thanks for the vid. Which Turbo Yeast did you use? I've used a few of different ones, my only advice is don't use the "Fast turbo yeast" as I didn't like the taste of that one
If you reduce the amount of turbo yeast that's fine... But you should compensate for the minimal amount of yeast nutrients by adding some dap
Top comment! 👍
Hi, I am making a 5 litre batch using turbo yeast, 2 and a bit 2kg bags of sugar and a teaspoon of yeast nutrient. I was expecting the fermentation to have stopped after 5-6 days but it is now into its 4th week and still fermenting !
Could be the temperature around your fermenter ,I have had them go for longer than what it says on packet and that's usually biggest factor , when it slows down to a bubble every few minutes I'll distill it
Yeast propagation that is something
Thanks Rna0roger.
Did you add a nutrient as well? It's my understanding that Turbo Yeast has a nutrient added to it, so it might be necessary to add some DAP too.
Yep, I did. About 1/3 way in I said I put in DAP and Citric acid. Nice to hear from you Jim.
@@pauljacobs5390 i've heard some people claim that sultanas make great nutrient. I'm going to try it.
@@MHLivestreams Hey MH, they do and I have videos to show how good using them for wild self nutrient Yeast. I am presently doing a test on TPW (Tomato Paste Wash) and am very impressed in tomato paste's ability to be a good nutrient. Watch for the video, they are still bubbling away and yet have to settle and clarify.
@@pauljacobs5390 Thanks, fella, will watch those. My next wash is attempting to get as close as possible to 21% ABV just to test my ability for fun. I know a lot of people go for something like 10-14% for sticking through the still as it's easier to work with, and is quick to brew. I suppose 10-14% in 2-3 days makes a lot of sense.
I have friends who are plumbers, and can get old domestic copper immersion heater tanks which have a nice capacity, 200 litres or so, ideal for making stills with. People like to fit combination gas boilers and throw the copper tanks out where I live.
Been giving this a whole lot of thought, and am designing different copper condensing stacks to try getting the most efficient output, whereby most of the water vapour drops back into the tank where it should be, instead of coming out with the 'shine,
It's inspired by some of the cheap commercially available stainless steel pot stills which seem really, really bad, and just don't seem worthwhile, and also some of the copper ones which seem too cumbersome, overly fancy and awkward to make. So the idea is to try creating the most efficient condenser with simplicity.
So the next wash will have 50-100 raisins per gallon to see the result, not for the still this time, just for me and my friends to drink in the evening.
I really appreciate your reply, and will have a look around your channel. I've been entertained and educated by George so far, on the Barley and Hops Brewing channel, he's quite a character, and is a pleasure to watch.
Have a great day, Sir.
