turbo yeast question

[ben the brewman]

i have made something using turbo yeast and it produced 13% abv in 48 hours but it looks like the yeast is still floating around in the liquid. what do i need to do to remove this.

Just give it time - a couple weeks at least. The yeast will drop out on it's own.

Its probably gonna taste like ass- But then again if your using turbo yeast thats probably what you are aiming for

im not gonna drink this brew without distilling it. the turbo yeast kinda smells like a heffewizen yeast.

so whats the big deal about turbo yeast if it makes 14% abv in 24 hours but takes 2 weeks to clear up.

I don't usually do this... IBTL

Turbo yeast has been selected to rapidly ferment high gravity worts that will be distilled. If you are distilling, it doesn't matter that the yeast isn't settling. If you aren't distilling, it will take a long time to clear & probably not taste very good, unless you kept the temperature below 70F.

I only use it to dry out ales after the primary fermentation is done.

 

[ben the brewman]

if i put it in a fridge to keep it cold will that let it settle out faster

If you're going to be distilling, you really ought to find a distillation forum. This is a community about brewing beer, not making spirits.
