Making alcohol in 48 hours is no longer difficult – or go for 20% in 5 days!
Double recipes for making alcohol (moonshine)
With the use of Alcotec 48 turbo yeast you can decide when you start fermentation whether you want to make a moderate amount of alcohol and fast (14% in 2 days), or high levels of alcohol over a longer period (20% in 5 days). It simply depends on the amount of sugar you add – 6kgs per 25 litres or 8kgs per 25 litres.
What sugar to use
Either plain white sugar (at the amounts stated in the normal recipe), or for better solubility, use brewing sugar (Dextrose Monohydrate) but remember to dose another 10% to compensate for the water molecule.
