Whiskey=20 Yeast for Home Distillation

Superb=20 whiskey can only be made with real whiskey yeast

Ready = to make some=20 excellent whiskey? Fermentation of the mash is the first and = most=20 important step. If the wrong yeast is used, nothing can be done = about this=20 later.

PITFALLS IN WHISKEY MASH=20 FERMENTATION=20

  1. Using bakers yeast.=20
  2. Fermenting stronger than 8.5% (because you didn't use real whiskey = yeast).=20
  3. Adding yeast nutrients.

 

The purpose of bakers yeast is to produce carbon dioxide in = bread. It=20 cannot produce good whiskey taste in the mash. Furthermore, = bakers=20 yeast produces many unwanted substances one absolutely does = not want=20 in the whiskey.

If one ferments over 8.5% alcohol, using something other = than a=20 real whiskey yeast, the mash produces far too large an amount of = fusel=20 and byproducts. It ruins the quality of the whiskey.

Whiskey mash needs only 0.1 - 0.2 gram nutrients per liter, and they = are=20 already in the mash. Adding more nutrients will force the yeast = to=20 produce many unwanted volatiles.

REAL WHISKEY YEAST, CHARGED = WITH=20 AG
We offer you a real whiskey yeast, used in some = of the=20 finest distilleries in the world. We supply both the hobby market = and the=20 brewing industry. You get only the best from us. Our company, Brewhaus = (America)=20 Inc., is founded on the vision of always supplying the best. = There will=20 be whiskey distilleries anonymously ordering this yeast just to compare = it with=20 their own. We simply must deliver what we claim.

Ian Smiley, author of the great book Making Pure = Corn=20 Whiskey, tested the yeast and says it's the best whiskey yeast he = ever=20 tried, and that it adds great value to the taste. He is also the = father of=20 the following innovation:

AG is added to the yeast. In distilleries, = Amyloglucosidase=20 (AG) is added to convert the non-fermentable sugars in the mash to the = fermentable sugars. This is best done during fermentation. It's = not so=20 easy during the mashing as AG shall be used in max 40C (104F) and will = be=20 destroyed in warmer mash. To duplicate the fermentation of a = distillery, AG=20 must be added. It is mixed with the yeast. It also increases the = alcohol=20 yield so the yeast pays for itself.

With our whiskey yeast you can ferment over 8.5% without = lowering=20 the quality of the whiskey.
