UJSSM (Yeast and Temp)

Post by Otis Campbell »

Been reading on temps for fermentation.
So.. At 77 degrees (25c) you should get minimal fusels if any..

But, Ian Smiley says: Hot and Fast
"I have found that the best whiskey and schnapps flavours are in fact formed during a hot, fast, brisk fermentation, and that long languishing fermentations (i.e. other than lagering) are the ones that produce the less desirable flavours. Of course, this point would be subject to personal preference. "

My local brew shop sells "Distillers Yeast" which I plan to use..

Question is, what temp should I hold it?

Right around 80. Usually. What kind of distillers yeast? Bakers yeast works pretty good for UJSSM.

Beware, as some of the Distillers Yeasts are actually Turbo Yeasts...

They sell Crosby and Baker (Daddy)
Would this be a "Turbo" yeast?

No it would be a good yeast. Recommended temps of low to mid 80s. But I would keep it right around 80.
