DistilaMax RM has been especially selected for the production of Agricultural rum (Rhum Agricole) and is recommended for use in the production of cane juice-based spirits, providing an excellent congener profile, aromatic complexity and quality of fermentation.

• Recommended temp. range: 26 - 36°C
• Agricultural rum
• Production of can juice-based spirites

Product features

Displays highest alcohol production yields at temperatures between (30°C to 35°C). It demonstrates a short lag phase, which helps it compete against contaminant bacteria. It also possesses a killer factor activity that helps keep wild yeast in check. As a producer of low levels of acetaldehyde and amyl alcohols, and supporting the synthesis of ethyl esters of short chain fatty acids, this yeast provides desirable smoothness and classic fruitiness to beverage spirits.

Dosage

Fermentation of cane juice: 

Direct pitching: 0.40 - 0.60 gramps per liter of wash orjuice (Dosage: 400 - 600ppm)

Directions for use

It is recommended to rehydrate the yeast before utilization. To rehydrate, add yeast to a 10X volume of fresh water at (40°C), then stir and allow to stand for 15 minutes. Pitching rates will depend on the process, but generally range between 10 and 50g/hl. Lower levels can be used if there is a conditioning stage before the fermenter. If added straight to the fermenter, temperature should be between 30°C to 35°C.
