Turbo Distiller's Yeast

One way to make liqueur is to mix essences with a neutral grain alcohol. Another way is to make a neutral high-alcohol sugar solution yourself by fermenting cane sugar. In order to do this, you will need a special type of yeast, called a "turbo" or "distiller's" yeast.

Alcotec 48. Alcotec 48 is an all-round "superyeast" for home spirit producers. It will ferment 13 pounds of normal sugar in a 6.5 gallon solution in 48 hours or less, even under difficult circumstances. Alcotec 48 works in temperatures up to 86°F. It will produce clean alcohol, but you should still treat with activated carbon for optimum quality before mixing with essences.
