Spirits & Distillation
Distilling at home rewards patience and cleanliness more than equipment. The still is only one part of it. What you ferment, how carefully you make your cuts, what you filter afterwards and how long you let it sit all shape what ends up in the glass. Rules around home distilling vary, so check what applies to you.
Where you start depends on what you are chasing. For a clean base to flavour later, a turbo yeast such as Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo ferments fast and finishes dry, while Still Spirits Distillers Yeast Whiskey 20g is the one when you want grain character carried through. From there the path forks. Essences are quick and forgiving, and the Curci range covers Limoncello, Amaretto, Anisette Bordeaux, Anice, Alchermes and Millefiori Acqua, with the Mad Millie Limoncello Kit giving you the whole thing in a box. Botanicals are slower and more your own, with Dried Juniper Berries, Coriander Seeds, Fennel Seeds and Whole Pink Peppercorn to build a gin bill from scratch. Polishing gear sits alongside both, including Cordenons filter pads in 20cm and 40cm and cartridges for tandem filters.
Practical advice. Keep a notebook and write the temperature against every jar you collect. Your nose decides where the heads end, but the written numbers are what let you repeat a good run twelve months later.

Alpha-amylase is a bacterially-derived enzyme for breaking down (or liquefying) gelatinised starch to yield short-chain dextrins and simple sugars prior to saccharification with glucoamylase and fermentation by yeast.
Sufficient for treatment of up to 7.5 kg (16.5 lb) liquefied starch for fermentation volumes up to 25 L (6.6 US Gal).
Mixing Instructions:
1. Bring your starch substrate slurry to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to cool to 80°C (176°F) or just below.
2. Add enzyme and stir well and then cover (or hold at 65-80°C (149-176°F)) and allow to stand for 60 minutes.
Please note that some starch substrates, such as corn starch and, may require longer boiling times in order to fully break down and gelatinize the starch prior to application of Alpha-amylase enzyme.

Pure Turbo Yeast is a yeast and nutrient mixed designed for use where ultimate alcohol quality is of primary importance. This is a revolutionary breakthrough in Turbo Yeast development making it possible to produce "triple distilled" quality alcohol at home.
Fermentation Time:
At 20-24°C (68-75°F): 6-7 days
Yield (approx.):
With 6 kg (13.2 lb) Turbo Sugar using the T500 Reflux Condenser: 3.6 L (0.95 US Gal) @ 93% ABV (186 Proof)
With 7 kg (15.4 lb) Dextrose using the T500 Reflux Condenser: 3.8 L (1 US Gal) @ 93% ABV (186 Proof)
Mixing Instructions:
1. Clean and sanitise all equipment before use.
2. Prepare water making sure you end up with 21 L (5.5 US Gal) at the correct water start temperature (indicated on the back of the sachet).
3. Now add sugar, and stir until completely dissolved before adding Turbo Yeast and Turbo Carbon.
4. Turbo Clear Part A: Once fermentation is complete, stir the wash vigorously to remove the gas. Once degassed, add the contents of Part A and stir well, then leave to stand for 1 hour.
5. Turbo Clear Part B: After 1 hour, slowly pour Part B evenly over the top of the wash while stirring gently to help spread it evenly. Do not stir vigorously as this will disrupt the clearing process. Leave to clear for at least 24 hours. During this time Part B will drop down from the top, taking unwanted yeast and other compounds with it to the bottom.
What's Included:
1 x 220 g (7.7 oz) Pure Turbo Yeast
1 x 130 g (4.5 oz) Turbo Clear
