Review: great way to make a quick batch. - If you are looking to make a fine wine or mead then there are better less harsh yeasts out there. however if you want max alcohol content and are on a time crunch for whatever reason then this stuff works very well. I make a batch of mead or wine once a week and within the week I can usually pull a 15% and clarification in that seven day period. The 3 gallon batch recipe that I make and works for me is as follows: 2.5 pounds of honey 2 pounds of raw sugar a gallon of orange juice and enough water to round out the 3 gallon capacity I add the sugar and honey to the 3 gallon plastic carboy, heat a liter of water up until it is boiling then I take it off heat and let it cool enough to where it wont melt the plastic, and pour it in while I slosh it around. Continue to add and slosh until all of the sugar and honey is dissolved. From there, add the room temp orange juice and water until you hit three gallons. if you are making this in a 5 gallon bucket then add water until it is 3/4 full. that will be about right. The measurements and amounts don't have to be exact. this is a very basic technique to get a decent dry wine or mead. Once all of the ingredients are in the bucket, mixed together, and at room temp (75-85F) you can pitch a half a packet of yeast. the package says add the whole pack but a half a pack is plenty. A full pack is overkill and can cause it to foam over easily. once you pitch the yeast, put the lid on the bucket or the top on the carboy or whatever you are using and add an airlock. let the yeast ferment over a few days until it stops bubbling. give it another day or two to clarify then you are ready to rack it (transfer it to another container) where it can sit for as long as you want to let it age. make sure you filter out the sediment during the racking process. if you have the ability to siphon it then that is the preferred method. in the new container ensure you put and airlock on it or you crack the lid from time to time. there is bound to be some yeast left over so there will be a bit of additional fermentation that can cause pressure if you don't add the airlock on the secondary container. You can pretty much bottle it anytime after it sits in the secondary container for a few days. at that point all of the clarification and fermentation should be about done. bottle it and drink as you please. it will get better with time. hope this helps, enjoy.

Is there residual yeast flavors?** A: Sugar mash, not corn. You’d be better off to use a different yeast for corn. Personally, I like a sugar mash waaaay better than a corn. 2 packs of this yeast with 40 lbs of sugar for a 13 gallon still. Let it cook off 1 to 2 weeks, then run it. I get 188 off the head. Cheers. **Q: Does this ship 4 packs or 1 pack?** A: Four individual packs , there each good for about five gallons with 10-15lbs of sugar to match . I was actually impressed , everyone said it would give an off flavor etc.. I used this with 15lbs sugar and cracked corn and sweet feed , set five days then removes all solids let it settle for 24 hours and ran it . Best iv tasted yet hands down . No yeast flavor at all , product once distilled smells similar to corn on the cob , amazing **Q: How heat tolerant is this yeast? Can a ferment be restarted if it sticks from being too warm?** A: Upon pitching it is heat tolerant up to about 90-95F short term (less than 12 hours) but then should be kept below 80 (preferably below 75). Keep in mind fermentation generates heat so we are talking fluid temperature here not ambient air temperature. No yeast can be restarted after being killed by heat. **Q: Does this ship 4 packs or 1 pack?** A: One zipper bag containing 4 separate turbo yeast bags is what I received and following the instructions for 21%in ten days recipe I have been way happy with yield as well as quality ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great way to make a quick batch. *by A***S on May 29, 2016* If you are looking to make a fine wine or mead then there are better less harsh yeasts out there. however if you want max alcohol content and are on a time crunch for whatever reason then this stuff works very well.
