I have 2 or 3 packs of turbo yeast that i never used. I was going to learn how to make moonshine a few years ago but it fell off the radar.

Anyhow, beer and wine are my thing now and i was wondering if i can use turbo yeast for an apfelwine or mead inspired recipe?

Bad idea, about all it's good for is drying out a stuck fermentation or yeast food. Throws lots of high alcohols and esters.

I have used it to fix stuck fermentation and dry out a a wine and it is worth keeping around for that. In a finishing use it works great.

I used it for a cherry wine..

1 pack + 3 pounds per 1 gallon. Got around 21-22% Before I add the yeast I added pectic enyzeme's to keep the cloudness away, plus you need a clearing agent to clear it up at the end. Then just let it sit a long time to get the flavor back and calm down.
