  • Interesting yeast. I don't get the quoted speed but I do ferment in gallon batches at room temp (20c)

    Bought this on a whim as I've just started homebrewing. I've made a few different fruit based wines, including supermarket juice based wines, but fancied seeing what a turbo could do. What results do I have? Better than expected. From start to racked, cleared and bottled fruit free wine in a week. I've no intention to distil so I make batches in gallon demijohns, only one at a time, by splitting the Alcotec 48hr into 5 separate yeast portions. My room temperature is 19>20c which is on the cool side, certainly for the lower alcohol fermentations (I normally aim for 15%), so I'm sure I could get a faster result by fermenting at about 30c but this works fine for me. Flavour? Not bad at all. I've heard people say that turbo yeasts taste awful, but I think if you go for lower temperatures and don't push them they are fine. I haven't tried using one for a fruit based wine yet (not really what turbo yeast is designed for!) but will probably do that next, with a side by side using my normal 'express' wine yeast, which I believe is actually a champagne yeast.

  • High speed yeast

    Never expected it to ferment as good as it was. Only thing with this type of yeast is the smell after distillation but if you use a column filter with activated charcoal it clears and gives a beautiful tasting and smelling spirit. Will buy again now I understand it.

  • WOW ! about covers it,

    This stuff is superb, bought it on a whim and now it's my favourite, I've had top grade yeast before but this stuff is really TURBO like it says my home made wine was ready to start clearing in 4 days, fermentation had stopped and I got turbo finings to clear, 9 days later I had 40 pints of wine. Incredible stuff !

  • Top stuff

    I put this yeast in with the grapes from my garden and 6 bags of sugar. The result was great, a nice strong dry rose wine. I left it for about 10 days to ferment...it was a furious fermentation too. All the sugar had turned to alcohol so it was not sickly sweet. I'm very pleased with this product and I will definitely buy it again. I'm thinking of raiding my apple tree next and popping one of these in with it.

  • Brewing yeast which delivers every time!

    I have used Alcotec 48 yeast for 2 years or so now and I am very impressed. It does exactly what it says on the packet and it's always good quality product. The price I now pay via Ebay is the cheapest I've ever paid AND Free delivery to my door. HAPPY DAYS. I have recommended this exact product (and through Ebay ) to a number of people and will always do so.

  • Amazing Product!

    Mixed this with 6kg of normal sugar and added turbo carbon. Then 2 days later added turbo clear and 24 hours after I had 25 litres of 15% alcohol. Mixed this with fruit juice, lovely stuff!

  • Excellent! and cost effective.

    I tried this for a change from Turbo.The results were fast and exactly as hoped, The wash is a little cloudier and takes a bit longer to clear, but the results were superior...and far cheaper. Ill be sticking with this in future.
