During the fermentation of alcohol by a turbo yeast, it is important not to overheat the wash. This can easily happen because the yeast itself develops a lot of internal heat and it then only takes a moderately hot room to overheat the wash. The heat energy created is not constant, you get more of it early on, typically after 24 hours of fermentation. If you use a temperature tolerant yeast such as the Alcotec 48, there is less risk for overheating. |

Turbo yeast and temperature tolerance
Turbo yeasts especially of the older non-temperature-tolerant class are sensitive to overheating.
