DISTILAMAX HT is a high performance yeast strain suitable for use in many types of beverage alcohol fermentations. It displays advantageous temperature tolerance, performing up to 34°C - 36°C and will continue to actively ferment at ethanol concentrations above 16% ABV. DISTILAMAX HT was selected due to its good fermentation kinetics even under high stress conditions, including high fermentation temperatures, high-gravity mash and high alcohol concentrations. It can reach fermentation temperatures of 34°C - 36°C and illustrates the ability to utilize sugars throughout fermentation and finish fermentations (correlated with a high ethanol content) even at high temperatures. DISTILAMAX HT is well suited for the food industry due to its ability to work well in stressful environments, finishing fermentation with good yield and finishing properly.
