Pure Distilling Rum Yeast

A specialist rum yeast with nutrient and glucoamylase enzyme for fermenting molasses- or sugar-based rum washes.

Fermentation guidance

The strain is designed to build characteristic rum fermentation flavours and can operate at warm temperatures, with the supplier identifying around 35 degrees C as ideal. Glucoamylase helps break down residual soluble starches and complex sugars. Follow the packet for wash size, recipe and pitching temperature rather than treating it as a general-purpose turbo yeast.

Alternative rum fermentation option

• Distiller’s Yeast Rum is a separate 20g rum yeast for up to 25 litres; unlike this Pure Distilling blend, it requires suitable nutrient to be supplied separately.
