Turbo Yeast for High Alcohol Fermentation

Turbo is comprised of a mix of very alcohol tolerant yeast and complex nutrients that quickly ferment a pure sugar solution into alcohol. There are two types of Turbos: one making 14% alcohol in three days and one making 18% alcohol in seven days. With the 18% yeast one will get 50 - 100% more alcohol from the same distillation compared to bakers yeast. With the 14% type you get a fast distillation and 2-3% more alcohol than with bakers yeast.

Both types of Turbos give less volatiles than bakers yeast. To make 1-% alcohol in 1-liter mash the yeast need 17 grams of sugar. To get 14% alcohol in 25 liter mash one requires 6 kg sugar an to achieve 18% one requires 8 kg sugar. Under temperature controlled conditions 20% alcohol is possible, then one needs 8,5-kg sugar.

Scrumptious Strawberry Liqueur

750 ml (3 cups) fresh strawberries, stemmed and washed.
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) sugar
500 ml (2 cups) vodka
250 ml (1 cup) water
2 ml (1/2 tsp) lemon zest
5 ml (1 tsp) orange zest
5 ml (1 tsp) fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Crush strawberries and sugar together in a bowl. Let stand for about 1 hour. Transfer to a clean 2 L container and add vodka, water, lemon zest, orange zest, and lemon juice. Cover and let stand in a cool, dark place for 2 days, shaking frequently.

Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain out solids. Discard. Transfer liqueur to clean container, cover and let stand for 1 week. Rack or filter into final container. Age for at least 1 month before serving. Yeild: 1 litre.

Tip: Strawberries are easily bruised and mould quickly. When making cordials with strawberries, it is important to use only fresh, ripe, unbruised fruit. If berries have green tips or bruises, cut off these parts before using.
