FermFast Whiskey Yeast

Description

FermFast Whiskey Yeast is a specialist distiller’s yeast designed for grain-based whiskey recipes and mashes up to 15% ABV. Can also be used with sugar-based washes if yeast nutrient is added. Includes glucoamylase enzyme to convert dextrins (longer-chain sugars from grain starches) into fermentable sugars, maximizing yield and ensuring complete fermentation. Contains complete nutrient complex including yeast, yeast nutrients, glucoamylase enzyme, antifoam, vitamins, and trace minerals. Each package is sufficient for up to 6.6 US gallons (25L). Technical specs: fermentation temperature range of 21-32°C (70-89°F), pitch temperature of 32°C (89°F) or below after mash or wort is prepared and cooled, 15% ABV alcohol tolerance. Fermentation time dependent on temperature and grain bill. Ideal for traditional whiskey production from barley, wheat, corn, rye, and other grains. Designed for home distillers seeking authentic whiskey character. The enzyme action is critical for maximizing fermentable sugar extraction from grain-based mashes.
