SUGAR
  • Raw Sugar - Sucrose ensures complete and clean fermentation with greater extract than dextrose.
  • Corn Sugar - Dextrose is an adjunct, ideal both as a gravity boosting addition to wort, and as a priming sugar for secondary fermentation. It is 100% fermentable, has a minimal flavor impact, and exhibits no cidery aftertaste in healthy fermentations. 
  • Refined Cane Sugar - Sucrose

YEAST
  • TY48 Turbo Yeast is a blended yeast and nutrient product that easily allows you to create neutral bases for blending or distillation. Carbon filtration or fining is recommended.
  • Fermentis SafSpirit (500 g)
    • FD-3 for fruit fermentations
    • GR-2 for very neutral spirits
    • HG-1 for very high gravity fermentations
  • Lallemand CB-1 can easily complete fermentation of high gravity bases with high tolerance for alcohol and acidity.
  • Red Star Premier Cuvee has a high alcohol tolerance, low foam rate, and low H2S production, making it well suited for Neutral Alcohol Bases, such as seltzers.
  • Yeast Vodka Turbo is an active dried distillers yeast with an extremely low congener profile for production of rounded base with a clean finish.

WATER TREATMENT

  • Calcium Sulfate (Terra Alba Gypsum) adds permanent hardness (calcium ions) to brewing water; 1 gram per gallon.
  • Sodium Bicarbonate USP #1 - 50 lb
  • Magnesium Sulfate - 50 lb*

FLAVOR ADJUSTMENT

  • Food grade additives to help adjust pH during fermentation or prior to packaging:


NUTRIENTS
  • Fermaid K is a blended complex yeast nutrient that supplies ammonia salts, free amino acids, sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, key nutrients and inactive yeast.
  • Fermaid O is a similar formulation as Fermaid K replacing DAP with an organic nitrogen source for more consistent fermentation.
  • Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is an inorganic source of nitrogen and phosphates to help stimulate healthy yeast growth and ensure complete fermentation.
  • Fermentis NAB-2 is a unique formulation for producing neutral alcohol bases from pure sugar.
  • MicroEssentials Complete TR Tablets is a two-stage time release tablet to deliver the proper dose and composition of nutrients as needed throughout fermentation.
  • Maxinvert is an invertase enzyme solution that hydrolyzes sucrose to fructose and glucose. This reduces fermentation lag by providing more fermentable sugars at the very beginning of fermentation.
 
FINING AND STABILIZATION
  • Nalco 1072 Kieselsol is a liquid colloidal suspension of silicon dioxide in water that has been specially formulated for the rapid sedimentation of yeast and other haze-forming particles in finished beverages. Can reduce residual color post fermentation. Vegan. 
  • Food additives used to prevent further fermentation:
    • Potassium Metabisulfite - 55 lb*
    • Potassium Sorbate - 50 lb
    • Sodium Metabisulfite - 1 lb*
  • Carbon Filter Sheets impregnated with active carbon for removal of unwanted color, flavors and odor.
