The turbo yeasts seem to be sold lots in countries with high taxes on likker...

14% in 24 hours, 20% in 5 days. ISTR seeing up to 24% alc/vol advertised.

Friends don't let friends drink shoddy liquor. (Cheap is fine, sometimes...)

But with a hand sanitiser, a pot still is
fine even if you ton use a turbo yeast,
Doesnt make a lot of sense to use a

Pretty much theoretical for me and here (Treznal), as the excise men are keen
and there are plenty of fruit spirits at reasonable prices. (And they have
*nothing* to with the sweetened hand sanitizer the Americans call "Schnapps".)

There's even a place here where they take your apples and return them, after
juicing, fermenting, distilling and bottling (and taxing) them. Even using
solely your apples, if you so wish and have enough.
