24 Turbo Klar

Turbo Yeast:
Clearing your alcohol in 24 hours!

With the new Alcotec 24 TurboKlar - a 24 hour fining agent for wine and turbo fermentations - this is now possible!

The Alcotec 24 TurboKlar will clear your turbo wash in only 24 hours to brightness, or near-brightness. Ready for your reflux still, and for the final treatment with activated carbon and essences.

Alcotec 24 TurboKlar will help producing very clean alcohol with a minimum of off-flavours. Your spirit will normally need treatment with activated carbon for maximum quality but you may well find that your charcoal lasts longer because of the clean alcohol produced.

We recommend using Vinland Essences when flavoring your homemade vodka. This is a small, very high quality range of the core types of spirit essences

How to make moonshine - some background

Fermentation - How it all works

So what is fermentation really? Well, slightly simplified, it is when yeast cells are eating sugar and (unfortunately for themselves) produce alcohol as a byproduct. Alcohol is poisonous to yeast cells and in the end it will kill them.

But it turns out that yeast cells are cleverer than you would expect. They can't stop eating sugar, it is just too yummy, so they have to do something else to stay alive for as long as possible.

The cells in the upper layer of the sediment will work as "life guards", protecting the others with their own bodies. This enables some cells to stay alive for a long period in a poisonous environment. And this is the reason your wine will clear - eventually - even without fining agents

Alcotec 24 TurboKlar:
Speeding things up

Alcotec TurboKlar finings is made from natural products and works a bit like "hair extensions" for the yeast cells. It is a two step process where the first sachet (kiselsol) will speed up the natural hair growth so the "clouds" appear sooner and the second sachet contains very long molecules (chitosan) that will be the "extra hair" which tie up the "clouds" more firmly.

So in short: Add the first sachet to speed up natural hair growth, then add the long molecules of sachet no 2 to bind the yeast cells more firmly to each other. They will of course then drop down very quickly and your wine will clear. Obviously, you need to be careful when adding sachet B - if you shake/stir too much you will break up the clouds when you really want to bind them together. You should only shake/stir enough to distribute the content in the liquid (so all "clouds" bind together).
