Pinnacle G Distillers Yeast is an active dry yeast well-suited for use in simultaneous saccharification fermentations of starch substrates from grain. It has a high tolerance to liberated glucose.
Benefits of using Pinnacle G Distillers Yeast:
Has a high cell count (>20 x 109 cells/g)
Rehydrates well in direct pitch applications
Has high ethanol and temperature tolerance
Has organic acid tolerance
Can be used in conjunction with glucoamylase and alpha amylase enzyme systems.
This yeast product has optimal performance within a pH range of 4.0 to 5.0 but can ferment well in the range of 3.5 to 6.0. Optimal fermentation temperature is dependent on other stresses present (i.e. organic acid, ethanol and pH) but generally ferments well in the range of 33°C to 37°C (92°F to 98°F). Under proper conditions, this yeast can produce ethanol up to and beyond 16% w/v.
