PRESTIGE- wine and spirits, distilling alcohol, oak chip and distiller yeast

We supply a Distillers yeast in 15 kg boxes as well as nutrients in 30 kg boxes. Amounts given below are for fermentation from 1000 Litres and up.

Large distilleries with sophisticated automatic cooling ferment large volumes, from 50,000 Litres+. We establish what % alcohol you want to ferment up to 17% ethanol v.v. and then fermentation is temperature controlled to 25°C +/- 1°C (between 24°C and 26°C). Large fermenters (50,000Litres+) tend to have automatic temperature control systems capable of such control connected. Smaller companies, with the exception of micro breweries, typically lack these requirements or capabilities.

Use 30 Kg nutrients. Per 10,000 Litres of fermentation, the dosage ratio does not change with volume / cooling equipment or anything else. So, for 10,000 Litres, use 30 Kg (1 box).

The Yeast dosage should be 15 kg for 10,000 Litre fermentation for maximum speed (2 days). The yeast dosage should be reduced where the cooling system cannot keep the liquid temperature below 30°C. But the minimum yeast dosage must be 2 kg for 10,000 Litres (8-10 days) - below this level the fermentation will stop, even if the correct liquid temperatures have been maintained.
