C3 Turbo Yeast – 90g

DoubleSnake C3 will ferment 14-15% alcohol in 3 days, or up to 17% alcohol in 5 days. For 14-15%, use 6 kgs of sugar and top up to 25L with water. For 17% alcohol, use 7 kgs of sugar instead. You can use either normal sugar, or brewing sugar (dose approx 10% extra if using brewing sugar).

This reliable turbo is based on the famous Turbo3 which is a Scandinavian turbo yeast, the first turbo ever produced (that was in the early 1990’s) and still going strong in Scandinavia. C3 has a slightly more modern recipe but otherwise very similar. Why change something fantastic.

Fruit Turbo Yeast – 49g

DoubleSnake Fruit Turbo is specialised in fruit fermentations, it contains a pectic enzyme to handle the pectin content of many garden fruits. Perfect for creating your own schnapps from various fruits.

Rum Turbo Yeast – 70g

DoubleSnake Rum Turbo contains glucoamylase enzyme, for breaking down starches. It is based around a special type of Rum yeast frequently used by the large distilleries.

Vodka Turbo Yeast – 70g

DoubleSnake Vodka Turbo contains a very neutral yeast, specialised in high alcohol pure fermentations. There is also a glucoamylase enzyme present for handling breakdown of starch from raw materials typically used when fermenting a wash for Vodka distilling.

Whisky Turbo Yeast – 70g

DoubleSnake Whisky Turbo can ferment all the common types of wash used for later distilling into Whisky. It contains a glucoamylase enzyme and a distillers yeast, chosen for its ability to preserve the qualities of the raw material.

C-Star Turbo Yeast – 66g

DoubleSnake C-Star will take 5-6 days to produce around 14% alcohol if you use 6 kgs of sugar (normal white sugar) in a total volume of 25 litres (top up with water, nothing else). You can also use Brewing Sugar – that is slightly better for purity but you need to use 6.5 kgs instead for the same result. Best fermentation temperature (air temp) is 22-25C.

C24 Turbo Yeast – 175g

DoubleSnake C24 is a 24-hour turbo yeast. It will produce almost 14% alcohol from a mix of 6 kgs of sugar in 25L total volume (top up with water). The fantastic bit is that it will get there in only 24 hours. To achieve this, we have a massive dose of yeast inside so we don’t have to wait very long for the normal yeast propagation at start. Best (room) fermentation temperature is around 25C but anything between 20-30C will work.

C48 Turbo Yeast – 130g

The C48 is a “dual” turbo yeast. Dual means that you can choose whether to make a moderate level of alcohol fast (48 hours max), or a high level of alcohol (5 days). You control the choice by adding different levels of sugar at start. If you add 6 kgs (25L total volume), you will do the fast fermentation up to 14% alcohol. If you add instead 8 kgs of sugar (still into 25L total volume), you will automatically target 19% alcohol instead in 5 days. It is also possible (but it requires perfect temperature control) to ferment out 9 kgs of sugar (in 25L total) and reach 21% alcohol. Note: You MUST have access to cooling facilities to do this. Your wash WILL overheat if you try without mantle cooling or inner spiral water cooling.

Carbon Turbo Yeast – 120g

DoubleSnake Carbon Turbo can ferment up to 14-15% alcohol in 3 days, or near 17% in 5 days, depending on amount of sugar added at start. This turbo includes an amount of a high specification activated carbon to remove smells during fermentation and for extreme purity of the finished liquid.
