Turbo Yeast. The 48 Hour Turbo yeast is the Best Yeast i have ever used it is Highly tolerant of temperature’s and give’s an excellent return, If you follow the direction’s to the T, i prefer to run the the 5-7 Day fermentation for best result’s and it’s well worth the waite Remember the old saying goe’s serve no wine before it’s time, But really i have tried many other kind’s of Yeast and i’ll use no other for my Brew !!!!!!

48 hour yeast. This yeast can produce 20% if left alone to ferment several days. Great product, it is all I will use!
Wild Will –
Idiot Proof Yeast. Turbo Pure 48 is truly idiot proof! It ferments very clean with up to 20%+ abv!I’ll not use any oyher yeast, it’s well worth the price!
Charles P –
yeast. No mater what u do with this yeast the product will be what ur looking for. It is almost indestructible i recently ran out and only used 1/3 the recommended amount. and it still produced an 18% product. If u want high abv u are gonna have to wait a little longer than stated but not by much, highly recommended, its all i will use now.
DougаW –
This Stuff is CRAZY!!. Pitched the yeast in a 50 liter all grain mash (thats half the recommended dosage), and this stuff took off in 30 minutes. Its so rediculous how much perculation you get from this yeast compared to any other! I put my ear up to the airlock and could have sworn i was driving a dually.
Scuppers –
Buying More!. I followed the directions on the packet and it worked exceedingly well.
K13B –
Great product. This is by far the best yeast for basic sugar washes. Like a previous review stated – this is idiot proof. I have never had a packet get stuck. I wish I could say the same for the others yeasts here. This is a perfect starter yeast for the people new to the hobby. Directions are clear and simple. It says 18% but you can get 20% going slower. This is all I buy for a basic wash. Recommend highly!
P –
Well worth the four fifty!. I have been pitching yeast for about 2 yrs now and this is the best by far i have seen yet.
gregory –
Exellent yeast. Best i’ve used yet,no strong moonshine flavor.More like a mild vodka.Very good
Ron –
#1. By far the best yeast I have used! Very forgiving great for a begginer or expert
t –
wow. well no bs this is a TURBO YEAST i’ve used a couple and this one is just as good as any out there. comes in a very nice gold package and is much whiter and cleaner (pure white) than any store bought yeast (light and dark brown). the best i ever got with fast acting store yeast is a 2 quarts out of 4-5 gallons. you need distillers yeast period. and with this turbo 48 it starts bubbling like CRAZY!!! in less than 1 hour!!! you just aint cookin mash until you see and smell this stuff working. and if you put 20 lbs. sugar, 4-5 lbs. cornmeal/cracked corn, and 32 oz. molasses in 7 gals. DISTILLED WATER ONLY PPL (this is a small application so dont skip out now), you get 20% not %18. and dont forget a good charcoal water filter, run it through 4-5 times. i’ve been doin this for a while now and prefer quality over quantity and this stuff and recipe is both i assure you. good luck and get your ETHANOL LICENSE’S FIRST. its not hard and apparently well worth it.

Beyond expectations. I’m new to this. Started out making wine. Don’t like wine. Then I stumbled on this. Set the hydrometer to 20%. Added Turbo and man it boils. 10 days later I have a 40 proof dirty vodka. I can mix it up like a Mike’s Lemonade and it tastes great (powdered lemonade, Sprit, no water). My next step is the simple distill method and to add clarrifier to the process. Very impressed with yeast! And look forward to years of extremely cheap and tasty vodka. This yeast doesn’t taste like a yeasty bread, very little foam, starts easy and stay rolling. I figure I can get my Vodka down to 1 dollar a gallon. Basically 20 bucks a year will cover me!
ron –

Patrick –
wow. Completely new to brewing/distilling and after several batches I feel ready to rate some of the products. This is a never fail product for sugar washes! Good neutral comes through in large quantities and never failed to push 18-20 percent after fermentation! I like the whiskey yeast with AG for grain mashes for flavor though.
Tom –
Outstanding. My third sachet of Turbo Pure 48 is bubbling in my pantry as we speak. This stuff has never let me down. For a thin wash this yeast can’t be beat.

48 hr turbo yeast. Been using this yeast for many years with consistent results. Have tried other cheaper brands with bad results. I believe in this case you get what you pay for, I’ll continue to use this product.

Steve in Appalachia –
48 hours turbo yeast. Have been using for many years processing corn whiskey. “Age” for 3 weeks in char-coaled oak (red or white) filings then filter. Smooth sweet result loved by all that try
CRAIG SMALLS –
I wanted a higher alcohol %. Can you recommend another yeast that maybe I can sample. My struggle has been finding the right product.
robert garringer –
yeast . I have been using this yeast for 8 years and it has never let me down. I use 4 sacks per fifty five gallon mash and i get 16 percent out of it .no nasty smell the hearts are 160 proof and are very smooth. I filter and age the hearts and poeple say its better that gentleman jack. So that is impressive.
Alaskan Bob –
The Best. I have been using this for around ten years. I have tried others only to be disappointed, usually with the flavor and often they do not reaching the potential that Turbo Pure does. Also Brewhause always has fresh stock.
richard johnson –
have been using prestige turbo yeast for several years and have tried other yeast but prefer 48 hr prestige turbo as it ferments nice and clean giving me a product that has few if any after tastes.. Will always use prestige 48hr turbo if it is available
Lester E Loyer –
Great . This yeast is fast and has a good taste
Cliff Armstrong –
Best yeast in the world . Damn fedex the freight was over $100 Canadian but the yeast was well worth it
