Turbo Yeast
The turbo yeast collection is one of the most popular categories at Brewers Choice Home Brew Supplies. Crafting a clean neutral wash in the back shed, or running essences through a rig in the garage? A reliable high-yield spirit yeast is the foundation of every successful run.
We stock turbo yeast strains built for Australian conditions, ready for dispatch from our Bayswater store to brewers right across the country.
What Is Turbo Yeast and Why Does It Matter?
Turbo yeast is a specialised blend of distiller’s yeast, nutrients and trace minerals, engineered to push through a sugar wash fermentation quickly and cleanly. Standard brewing yeast can’t match it. Turbo strains are bred to tolerate higher alcohol levels, ferment faster, and stay active in conditions that would knock weaker yeasts off their feet.
The right turbo yeast handles those swings without stalling, leaving you with a high-yield wash ready for filtering, flavouring, or use in legally compliant applications.
High-Yield Spirit Yeast Built for Aussie Conditions
The number one frustration we hear from customers? Inconsistent results. A wash that stalls halfway through. Off-flavours from a yeast that couldn’t cope with the heat. Or a lower alcohol yield that makes the whole run feel like a waste of sugar and time. Our turbo yeast strains are selected to handle exactly these problems.
Across our range you’ll find products suited to different goals:
- Fast turbo yeasts that can finish a 25-litre sugar wash in 24 to 48 hours
- Pure or “clean” turbo yeasts focused on producing a low-congener wash for cleaner spirits
- Need serious strength? Our high-alcohol strains can reach 18–20% ABV from a properly prepared wash
- Temperature-tolerant blends designed for fermenting in non-climate-controlled spaces
- All-in-one packs that include yeast, nutrients and carbon for an easy first run
