Alcotec 23% Turbo Yeast - Extreme Alcohol

Alcotec 23% Turbo Yeast — Extreme Alcohol

The highest-alcohol turbo yeast in the Alcotec range. Formulated with added carbon and minerals, this kit is designed to push fermentation to its limits — producing up to 23% ABV from a single wash. Nutrients and activated carbon are included in the pack.

Important: dextrose (brewing sugar / dextrose monohydrate) is required for maximum results. Ordinary sugar (sucrose) can be used but will produce a slower, lower-quality ferment of around 19% ABV with a slightly sweeter finish.
