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.
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.
