Pinnacle G Active Dry Distillers Yeast | Glucose | High Alcohol | 500 g

• G is recommended for neutral alcohol applications
• Well-suited for use in simultaneous saccharification fermentations of starch substrates from grain
• Performs well when pitched directly in the fermenter

Pinnacle Distillers Yeast (G) is an active dry yeast well-suited for use in simultaneous saccharification fermentations of starch substrates from grain. It has a high tolerance to liberated glucose. A relatively simple, straight-forward strain for neutral spirits. Commonly used for vodka or gin but could be used to bourbon as well.

• Has a high cell count (>20 x 10⁹ cells/g)
• Rehydrates well in direct pitch applications
• Has high ethanol and temperature tolerance
• Has organic acid tolerance
• Can be used in conjunction with glucoamylase and alpha amylase enzyme systems

Application:
This yeast product has optimal performance within a pH range of 4.0 to 5.0 but can ferment well in the range of 3.5 to 6.0. Optimal fermentation temperature is dependent on other stresses present (i.e. organic acid, ethanol and pH) but generally ferments well in the range of 92-98°F (33-37°C). Under various process conditions, this yeast can produce high ethanol up to and beyond 16% w/v.

Directions for Use:
Yeast can be added directly to a fermenter at a dose rate of between 1.67-4.17 lbs per 1,000 gallons of wort (0.2-0.5 kg per 1,000L of wort).

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Product should be used within two years of its production date for best performance. Packages which have lost their vacuum seal should not be used. Opened packages can be stored cool and used within 3-4 days.

Regulatory:
All yeast conforms to current local regulations.

Pinnacle Distillers Yeast began its life more than 30 years ago within the Scotch whisky sector. Over time, their yeast has become a well-established essential ingredient in the making of some of the finest award-winning malt and grain whiskies we are drinking today – not only in Scotland but around the world. In response to the growth of global spirits using many different substrates and a variety of multiple-sized, challenging processes, the family of Pinnacle Distillers Yeast has grown and is still increasing to meet future market demands.
