Stop Helping Your Yeast Solve Problems – Use One That Doesn’t Have Any
If you’ve ever used turbo yeast, you’ll know the drill. It kicks hard, runs hot, and leaves a trail of stench, off-flavours, and sludge in its wake. So what do you do?
You spend your time fixing the problems it creates.
Clearing agents. Activated carbon. Temperature control. Antifoam. pH adjustment. Re-distilling. You’re not distilling anymore – you’re playing nurse to a yeast strain that wasn’t made for the job in the first place.
And that’s when I usually say to customers: “Everything you have to do extra when you’re using turbo yeast means you’re helping the turbo yeast solve problems.
Why would you use a yeast where you have to help it solve problems? If you use Global Express Fast & Clean Distillers Yeast, there are no problems to solve.”
That’s the truth in a nutshell.
Global Express was, for years, the FIRST yeast strain bred specifically for sugar washes.
The Problem With Turbo Yeast
Turbo yeast was made to be fast, not clean. It pushes yeast cells into overdrive, trying to smash out 18–20% alcohol in 2–3 days. That might sound impressive until you realise it:
- Generates intense heat
- Produces loads of fusels (harsh alcohols)
- Leaves a strong smell that needs to be stripped
- Dies off early, often leaving sugar behind
- Needs extra work just to make it drinkable
It’s a yeast that throws a tantrum halfway through fermentation, and you’re left cleaning up after it.
What You Need to Do Just to Make Turbo Work
You’ll often find yourself adding:
- Kieselsol and Chitosan – to clear the cloudy mess
- Activated Carbon – to mask the chemical stink
- Extra nutrients – because turbo yeast burns through them
- pH buffers – to keep the yeast alive long enough to finish
- Antifoam drops – because of excess gunk and froth
- Filter cartridges or carbon columns – to stop the final product smelling like jet fuel
And even then, most turbo users end up saying, “I had to distil it twice to get it drinkable.”
Global Express – A Yeast with No Baggage
Global Flavors’ Global Express Distillers Yeast doesn’t come with problems. You don’t need to help it. Just mix sugar, water, and the yeast – and let it do what it’s been bred to do.
Here’s what you get:
- Cleaner fermentation from start to finish
- No strong odours – your shed won’t reek
- Moderate ferment speed – done in 5–7 days
- No need for clearing agents – runs just fine, as is
- Clean taste – ready to drink after a single pass
You don’t need to babysit it. You don’t need to second-guess it. You don’t need a science degree and six additives. It just works.
Why Distillers Are Switching
Distillers are waking up. They’re starting to ask themselves, “Why am I fixing yeast problems when I could avoid them altogether?”
Global Express doesn’t ferment like a racehorse on steroids. The result is cleaner, smoother, and far less hassle. It’s the yeast equivalent of working smarter, not harder.
Wrap-Up
You’re not doing this to run a lab experiment – you’re doing it to make a clean spirit you can enjoy. So stop wasting time helping turbo yeast solve its own problems.
Use a yeast that doesn’t have problems.
Get Global Express and get on with the fun part – making something worth drinking!
Until next time… Happy Distilling!
Cheers
