Speyside Yeast (Active Dried Yeast) a must for any grain whiskey distiller.

 

This Speyside yeast is a naturally pure culture. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae if you want to get technical because you can.

Not for any persons under the age of 18!

Speyside Yeast! Active Dried Yeast!

 

Since we know how serious you are as an enthusiast we got you on this one! This fine speyside yeast provides you with a perfect distillate on grain and wheat based products.

 

Use it at a rest whiskey you can ratio of between 60g to 80g per 100L mash resulting in the best whiskey for you and you friends. Advising you that you need to store in a cool dry place no hotter than 25 degrees ensures that your product can have up to a 3 year shelf life.

Your distilling temperature should be between 20 and 33 degree Celcius and this yeast displays a good alcohol tolerance of up to at least 15% V/V.

 

Restore this dried yeast to its fully active viable state by rehydrating it as quickly as possible leaving you speechless at the results. Use 10 x the mass of water at 36 degrees Celcius and Bob’s your uncle! Vigorously agitate so you get the best from it. Watch the time though because if you don’t it can be bad for overall alcohol yields.

Speyside Yeast Active Dried Yeast

Info for you:

• Total Viable Yeast Count – : less than 1 x 1010 c.f.u. per gram minimum
• Wild Yeast : less than 1 x 105 c.f.u. per gram
• Bacteria : less than 1 x 106 c.f.u. per gram
• E. coli : absent
• Moisture : 8% maximum
• Handling : Cool dry conditions for optimum shelf life and activity
• Allowing yeast to remain at 36 degrees for longer than the stipulate time period can negatively affect alcohol yields

 

Consumables

To summarize consumables are items used for the successful operation of a distilling setup. Notably these often include items such as copper stills, tubing, filters, yeast, sugar, and hoses. Additional items recommended for distilling include thermometers, hydrometers, testing kits, and measuring containers. Basic maintenance such as cleaning supplies and sterilization agents must also be kept on hand.

Ketelkraal provides all the consumables you will need. We always think of the everything!

We provide items such as:

Potassium Carbonate (100g)

To summarize Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) an important chemical used in the making of distilled spirits. Used to adjust the pH of the spirit, as well as to raise the alcohol content. Also used to control the acidity of the spirit. Improving the mouthfeel and flavor of the spirit. Used to buffer the mash against pH changes. Not allowing it to go to low. A white powder or as colorless solid crystal and has a salty taste.

Alpha Amylase 100ml

In brief use Alpha Amylase to convert your starch into sugar. Endozym Alphamyl SB1, used at higher temperatures in the brew-house during mashing in order to facilitate the hydrolysis of starch into maltose, soluble dextrins and glucose.
Some of the obvious advantages are quick reduction of the viscosity of the cereal mash and the yield of more concentrated wort.

Subsequently an enzyme found in saliva and pancreatic juice that helps in the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the alpha-1,4 linkage between two glucose molecules, the main component of starch and glycogen. Alpha amylase also found in plants, fungi, and bacteria, and used commercially to produce some types of alcohols. Alpha amylase activity is important in grain processing and production of baked goods, as it helps convert the starches in flour into sugars.

Ketelkraal provides this and much more! All the equipment too!

Because in the end you passion remains ours!
