4/28/2009 -- Alcotec 48 Hour Turbo Yeast + 8kg of grain white sugar (store bought) + 21L of tap water, fermented for 5 days (or until fermentation is done). If I were to, for sake of argument, a mental exercise mind you, add your Prestige Rum Spice Essence to this mix would it taste any good? Would this exercise, hypothetically, be worth doing in such a manner?

5/10/2008 -- I am starting down the path of distilling fuel, and I need a good yeast and some information to use it. I am attempting to use byproduct glycerin from biodisiesel production. I will be making approximately 50 gal batches, water and glycerin. I will use a 60 gallon plastic barrel to ferment. So am I correct to assume I can use 1 packet of Alcotec 48 to create a wort, but I may need to add nutrients . . .

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

7/24/2006 -- i gotta say this is the greatest yeast ive ever tried. it starts an active (fast fermentation) about 3 hours after inoclulating it. i was surprised that it was possible with just sugar and water. 2 days later and its still going stong and its strong in taste. i love this and can't wait to buy more. my question is will it go any higher then the 20% if i add more sugar? did you have any good expierences . . .
