Um...bought this by mistake, I should have bought the Restart version (duh)...can anyone tell me whether it's suitable for general winemaking-by-the-gallon? Can't tell from the packet.
Thanks

Alcotec 48 is a "dual" turbo yeast. It can ferment 6 kg sugar/25 litres water up to 14% in 48 hrs or 8kg sugar / 25 litres of water up to 20% in 5 days. You simply choose how much sugar to ferment. It is temperature tolerant so its perfect for hot summer temperatures. Makes a base Alcohol which can then be flavoured to make your favourite tipples.
I don't think it would do any harm at all. As far as I know it's a finely balanced mixture of yeasts and nutrients designed to provide a "clean" wash from a predetermined amount of table sugar for distillation. Of course, home distillation is illegal in the UK and so it's marketed as you say above. I've no doubt that most of it is used for making "moonshine" though.I am a bit confused (not for the first time ime)
In the Brew UK description below it says it makes a base alcohol which you can flavour and I know members have done this so although not ideal for normal use what harm would usig a small amount in an emergency have done?
