Distilamax XP (malt whiskey yeast) Lallemand

DistilaMax® XP has been selected especially for its ability to ferment maltose, maltotriose and other sugars in malted grain. 

• DistilaMax XP produces a congener profile that is well-suited to malted barley whisky such as increasing complexity and fruity characters

DistilaMax XP displays a good temperature tolerance and performs well at temperatures from 20°C up to 35°C.

• Temp Range 25°C – 36°C
• High alcohol tolerance
• Aromatic profile

APPLICATIONS:

• DistilaMax® XP is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var.diastaticus selected especially for its ability to ferment maltose, maltotriose and other sugars in malted barley feedstock.
• DistilaMax XP displays a good temperature tolerance and performs well at temperatures from 20°C up to 35°C.
• DistilaMax XP is recommended for use in the production of whisky, by fermentation of wort made from malted grain.
• DistilaMax XP produces a congener profile that is well-suited to malted barley whisky such as increasing complexity and fruity characters

DOSAGE:

• The optimal yeast dosage is variable according to individual distillery production processes.
• Normal dose rate 0.50 – 1.0 grams of yeast per litre of wort (dosage: 500 – 1000 ppm)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

Lallemand Biofuels & Distilled Spirits recommends the rehydration of DistilaMax XP.

1. For rehydration, use a clean container. Do not use demineralized water.
2. Rehydrate the yeast in clean water (the water should be 10 times the weight of the yeast and at a temperature of 36°C – 38°C).
3. Suspend contents carefully by gently stirring and then wait for 15 – 20 minutes maximum (minimum 10 minutes) before moving onto the next step.
4. Add this preparation to the wash. If there is a temperature difference of more than 8°C between the wash to be inoculated and the rehydration solution, add some wash slowly into the rehydration solution to reduce the temperature difference.
5. Once the vacuum-sealed bag is open or broken, use yeast promptly.
