I've used this yeast for 6 months and it does produce a rapid fermentation compared to baker's yeast. It may not produce the highest quality product. The mash will clear without using Turbo clear, but it takes 4 weeks and that obviates the advertised advantage of quick fermentation. If you want very rapid fermentation like the big commercial operators, it means keeping the temperature about 80 F and skipping the secondary fermentation that cleans up byproducts of the rapid fermentation. Also there are problems with yeast starters using this product due to the large amount of metallic zinc used as a nutrient. It blocks the stirrer.
I used two packs in two 10 gallon conical fermenters with 30 lbs of sugar each and one in a 5 gallon fermenter with 15 lbs of sugar. The 5 gallon wash produced about 45% alcohol on my refractometer.
The 10 gallon I checked today produced 57%.
I thought maybe my meter was busted so I checked various other things and it read true and tried my washes again and got the same readings.
I left these to ferment for probably a week or two using these turbo yeast packets. Anyone else get this high of a content? I thought yeast would die at 22%. This is insane.
Either way. I'm pleased.
If you are looking for alcohol in a hurry then this is for you. This stuff will burn through 15 pounds of sugar in three days, but it's not without its drawbacks. This yeast will NOT clear on it's own, they make two other products to clear it. Also it will leave some off flavors in your wash. Most notably for me is a sulphur smell which can be taken care of with the addition to some copper.
Overall it is a great, quick, but expensive product.
Worked great. But I think the recommended amount of sugar is a little high.
I have used this product before and had great success with my mash.
