Alcotec Restart Turbo Yeast

Alcotec Restart Turbo Yeast

Fermentation stuck or stalled? Alcotec Restart is a high-quantity, alcohol-tolerant yeast specifically designed to get a stuck fermentation moving again. At 49g per sachet, it contains a substantial quantity of yeast — far more than a standard wine yeast packet — giving it the best chance of restarting even a partially fermented wash.

When to Use

Use Restart when your hydrometer reading is 50–60 units below the start value (i.e. 6–8% alcohol has already been produced) and fermentation has stopped prematurely. A normal wine kit starts at 1075–1085, so if your current reading is between 1015–1065, this yeast is worth trying.

How to Use

1. Direct method: add the full contents of the sachet directly to 25L of wine or wash and stir well
2. Starter method (recommended): dissolve the yeast in a small amount of lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar and a little nutrient, leave to ferment for 24 hours, then introduce to the stuck wash
