Featuring advanced Pure-technology, it produces clean, high-quality alcohol ideal for moonshine, wine, and cider. This pack of two 135g sachets supports up to 25 liters of wash per sachet, offering flexibility and speed for home fermentation enthusiasts. ## Description Product description Forget what the home distillation handbook says about temperature sensitive fermentations and how to make moonshine, watching the temperature, problems in the summer, you name it. Alcotec 48 works in ambient temperatures up to 30 C (86 F). It will produce very clean alcohol but you should still use activated carbon filtration for optimum purification before mixing with essences. Making Moonshine - Instructions: 25 litres of 20% alcohol in 5 days Alcotec Turbo Pure 48 is a "dual function" turboyeast. You can choose whether to ferment 14% alcohol fast or 20% in 5 days, simply by changing the amount of sugar added. For 20% in 5 days just increase from 6 to 8 kgs of sugar in the recipe below. It also contains our new Pure-technology for extremely pure fermentations. How to make Moonshine - Instructions:25 litres of 14% alcohol in 48 hours Pour 21 litres of 40 C (104 F) water into your fermenter. Add 6 kgs of sugar and mix well until completely dissolved. Then add 1 sachet of Alcotec 48 and stir for one minute. Leave to ferment in 20-30 C (68-86 F), optimum is 25 C (77 F). You may need to adapt this instruction depending on the legislation in your country and in some countries making wash / distilling can be completely illegal. Always check your legal position before using our products. For flavouring of your spirit we recommend using essences. Directions Mix 1 packet with 6.6 US gallons (25L) of sugar/water wash. Ferment at 70-80°F (21-27°C) for 48 hours for ~14% alcohol, or up to 5 days for ~20% alcohol. Do not use an airlock initially due to extreme CO2 pressure. Pay close attention to temperatures for best results. ## Features - 25 Litres Of Water And 6 Kg Sugar = 14% In 48 Hours Or 8Kg Sugar = 20% In 5 Days - Also Ideal For Rapid Wine & Cider Fermentation - After Fermentation Of Cider, Wine Or Wash, Turbo Klar Finings & Activated Carbon Are recommended To Clear & Purify. - Very Temperature Tolerant So Is Perfect For Hot Summer Temperatures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00APTCRRA | | ASIN | B00APTCRRA | | Best Sellers Rank | 49,572 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 24 in Fermenters | | Brand Name | Alcotec | | Coin Variety 1 | Yeast | | Color | Multi | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (274) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (274) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 135 Grams | | Item model number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Leavening Agent Type | Instant Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Alcotec | | Manufacturer | Alcotec | | Model Number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 2 | | Part Number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Product Dimensions | 20.32 x 10.92 x 4.32 cm; 135 g | | Set Name | Pack of 2 | | Size | 135 g (Pack of 2) | | Unit Count | 270.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Alcotec - **Item form:** Powder - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 135 Grams - **Leavening Agent Type:** Instant Dry Yeast - **Manufacturer:** Alcotec - **Number of items:** 2 - **Package weight:** 0.28 Kilograms - **Unit count:** 270.0 gram - **Variety:** Yeast ## Images ![RIIMUHIR Alcotec 48-hour Turbo Yeast, 135 grams (Pack of 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L5t6RZNHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: if used to ferment a wine/fruit juice, does it leave a yeasty off flavour, and if used as a wash do you need to add liquid carbon at the start? thanky** A: I ferment fruit and ginger beer with this .
