Description
DistilaMax HT 500 g – dry yeast for distilling gin, vodka and neutral spirits

DistilaMax HT is an active dry yeast from Lallemand that is especially suited to glucose-based feedstocks. It suits the production of gin, vodka and neutral spirits, because it produces few higher alcohols, aldehydes and esters. The yeast is made for distilleries.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
According to Lallemand, DistilaMax HT ferments well under demanding conditions such as high fermentation temperatures, high-gravity mash and high alcohol levels. It tolerates temperatures up to 34–36 °C and continues to ferment actively above 16 % alcohol.
