Understanding Yeasts
Let's remind ourselves what yeast is in the first place.
Yeast is a single cell organism which multiplies vigorously in the presence of oxygen and then after all of the oxygen is used up, yeast will convert sugar into alcohol. And fermentation? It is of course simply the process by which yeast converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
In this section you will learn some advanced techniques and get some fairly meaty information about the various types of yeasts, cleaning agents, fermenting products and distilling equipment, to help you make a truly great spirit. Let's begin with yeast.
Choose your yeast.
Still Spirits 'Turbo' brand yeasts ferment sugar into alcohol wash. There are five different kinds and each is designed for specific climate conditions or desired alcohol outcomes.
