Alcotec 6 - The original turbo yeast

This was one of the original turbo yeasts, only the Swedish Turbo-3 was earlier. Alcotec 6 was launched in 1995 as an improved version of the Turbo-3 (which by the way is still a very popular brand in Scandinavia). This was a very good turbo yeast for its days, it handles 6 kgs of sugar into 25 litres total volume and makes 14% alcohol in 3 days. It is not as temperature tolerant as the much later Alcotec 48 but it is still pretty good if used in the right temperature range (18C - 26C approx).

It is currently only sold in New Zealand.

How to make moonshine - the answer almost always includes a turbo yeast for the fermentation, then followed by distillation using either of a reflux still or a pot still or in some cases the SmartStill tabletop distiller. Using turbo yeast for making the alcohol guarantees a low amount of volatiles and off flavours and a very clean end result. Regardless of what still is used, it is normal to also use activated carbon in the end for removing the last impurities created during the turbo yeast alcohol fermentation.
