This professional distilling yeast is especially suited for the fermentation of glucose, dextrose and starch-derived washes (e.g. maize or wheat) for the production of vodkas and other neutral spirits, but also gives good results in the fermentation of grain-based washes e.g. barley, wheat, rye) for the production of dry gins. (Use our H15 Whisky/Gin yeast for smoother, less dry gins.) It has a very neutral and clean flavour profile with extremely low levels of higher alcohols and congeners. It is suitable for high stress fermentations with high starting gravities, can deal with high fermentation temperatures and has a very high alcohol tolerance (>16% ABV). Note: this yeast is less suitable for the fermentation of sucrose / table sugar bases washes (use our T520 Turbo Yeast for that), cane or molasses (for which we recommend our H78 Rum Yeast). Use of a good yeast nutrient in the fermentation of sugar washes is recommended. (Datasheet available for download.)
