Alcotec 48 works in ambient temperatures up to 30 C (86 F). It will produce very clean alcohol but you should still use activated carbon filtration for optimum purification before mixing with essences. Making Moonshine - Instructions: 25 litres of 20% alcohol in 5 days Alcotec Turbo Pure 48 is a "dual function" turboyeast. You can choose whether to ferment 14% alcohol fast or 20% in 5 days, simply by changing the amount of sugar added. For 20% in 5 days just increase from 6 to 8 kgs of sugar in the recipe below. It also contains our new Pure-technology for extremely pure fermentations. How to make Moonshine - Instructions:25 litres of 14% alcohol in 48 hours Pour 21 litres of 40 C (104 F) water into your fermenter. Add 6 kgs of sugar and mix well until completely dissolved. Then add 1 sachet of Alcotec 48 and stir for one minute. Leave to ferment in 20-30 C (68-86 F), optimum is 25 C (77 F). You may need to adapt this instruction depending on the legislation in your country and in some countries making wash / distilling can be completely illegal. Always check your legal position before using our products. For flavouring of your spirit we recommend using essences. Directions Mix 1 packet with 6.6 US gallons (25L) of sugar/water wash. Ferment at 70-80°F (21-27°C) for 48 hours for ~14% alcohol, or up to 5 days for ~20% alcohol. Do not use an airlock initially due to extreme CO2 pressure. Pay close attention to temperatures for best results. Review: Great for making wine. - The only yeast I have been using for a few years now to make all my fruit wines. ( fruit wine is the only ones I make ) Very strong alcohol content when finished. Can't fault it. Wines have a good taste when matured. Review: Very Fast - Whats not to like with this yeast. Ive used the turbo yeast and all the charcoal stuff and finings and it just costs loads for the same result as this yeast gives. I split a pack of this in half and add 7g of high alc wine yeast to each half and pour into two seperate 25 ltr tubs of 7 kg sugar and water and let them go. I let them go until they stop bubbling ( about 8 days) then scoop out 4.9 litres straight into my air still. 4.9 litres gives me 800 ml of clear spirits which i bottle,(50 litres is about 10 runs through the still). i keep going until all the wash is gone. I then get my spirits back into the air still and distill down again, im normally at about 80 abv now. Its then through an active charcoal filter ( homemade) twice before i dilute it back down to 40% with water, its then perfectly clear vodka. ## Features - 25 Litres Of Water And 6 Kg Sugar = 14% In 48 Hours Or 8Kg Sugar = 20% In 5 Days - Also Ideal For Rapid Wine & Cider Fermentation - After Fermentation Of Cider, Wine Or Wash, Turbo Klar Finings & Activated Carbon Are recommended To Clear & Purify. - Very Temperature Tolerant So Is Perfect For Hot Summer Temperatures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00APTCRRA | | ASIN | B00APTCRRA | | Best Sellers Rank | 98,307 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 30 in Fermenters | | Brand Name | Alcotec | | Coin Variety 1 | Yeast | | Colour | Multi | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (273) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (273) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.29 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 135 Grams | | Item model number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Leavening Agent Type | Instant Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Alcotec | | Manufacturer | Alcotec | | Model Number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 2 | | Part Number | 99-LH4U-OUU7 | | Product Dimensions | 20.32 x 10.92 x 4.32 cm; 135 g | | Set Name | Pack of 2 | | Size | 135 g (Pack of 2) | | Unit Count | 270.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Alcotec - **Item form:** Powder - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 135 Grams - **Leavening Agent Type:** Instant Dry Yeast - **Manufacturer:** Alcotec - **Number of items:** 2 - **Package weight:** 0.29 Kilograms - **Unit count:** 270.0 gram - **Variety:** Yeast ## Images ![RIIMUHIR Alcotec 48-hour Turbo Yeast, 135 grams (Pack of 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L5t6RZNHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: if used to ferment a wine/fruit juice, does it leave a yeasty off flavour, and if used as a wash do you need to add liquid carbon at the start? thanky** A: I ferment fruit and ginger beer with this . Fast good results. Does take a while to settle, but no off flavour. Hope this helps **Q: I purchased this on a whim. I would like to make some cider with apple juice or some alcoholic fruit juices. Can I just buy some fruit juice from the** A: This is a yeast that is usually used to produce high alcohol neutral liquor that is then either distilled to make vodka or sometimes it is used " as is" (low strength vodka)and mixed with tonics or cordials and consumed that way. That being said there is no reason you could not use it to make cider but there are better yeasts for this good luck. **Q: See when it says 20% alcohol, is this once the wash has finished or after you've distilled it? I make vodka so I'm looking for 40alc.** A: With 8kg sugar and 25/30c will give you around 20% abv distill that looking at more like 90% abv or 75/85% in a air still you lot saying distill and will get 40 or 60% are in dream world. It taste vile in anything but a sugar wash to distill. **Q: Do you use a whole packet of 135g** A: You use the full packet per 25L wash! :) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for making wine. *by P***J on 5 February 2026* The only yeast I have been using for a few years now to make all my fruit wines.

Works fast with no messing about! I use this to make strong fruit ciders and liquor from our own produce. It can make a good shine from just sugar if you are in a hurry. Works great with fruit all colour and flavour retained. Expect 18% proof and up.
