Industrial alcohol fermentation

Distillation of industrial alcohol, which is normally not used for consumption, can be made in a two-step process. First, start an aereated fermentation and propagate up the yeast to 350,000,000 cells per ml. Then transfer this mash to a much larger batch of mash, where it is used as yeast. This gives a savings in yeast cost.

Temperature Tolerant Turbo yeast is excellent for this application, and provides the following benefits:

Ferments sugar, corn, molasses, barley, wheat, and similar

High osmo tolerance, stands 28% sugar or equivalent

High temperature tolerance, 39C for 14%

High alcohol tolerance, easily ferments to 16%

Faster fermentation, increased production

Purer fermentation, 1% less fusel replaced by pure alcohol

No wild yeast, no bacteria: always a good result

More information

The fermentation in the first tank is always made using 3.6 Kg Temperature Tolerant Turbo Yeast per 1000 liter mash. Then it is tranferred to the next fementer with much times more of the same mash.

The mash in Fermenter 2 is fed with nutrients as usual, and pH is regulated as usual.

Security on the Internet

Anybody can set up a Web site, try to collect your money, yet never send you anything. You often do not know this because many such sites appear professional. If you do not know enough about them, get more details. Is there an address for the office? Is there a real person, and is that person trustworthy? Is the company in the Yellow pages? Who owns the Web site?

Are there any complaints about fraud at the local Better Business Bureau where the company is located? Is the company’s full address printed on the Web site, not hiding behind an anonymous email address and a box address? Does it have its own domain name? As extra security, pay with your credit card, as credit card companies protect their customers. But only on a secure server (note that the http:// changes to https://).
