Description

  • MG+ is recommended for both malt and grain fermentations for the production of whiskey
  • Tolerant of high gravities and high temperatures

Pinnacle Distillers Yeast (MG+) is an active dry yeast well-suited for use in both malt and grain fermentations. It has the collective capability to tolerate high gravity and temperature. This is one of the leading strains in Scotland for making Scotch Whisky. It is a little more robust for a typical bourbon mash, but it also works for American single malts, bourbons, and ryes.

  • Has a high cell count (>1 x 10¹⁰ cells/g)
  • Rehydrates well in direct pitch applications
  • Is noted for its resulting spirit having high organoleptic qualities

Application:
This yeast product can be applied in a variety of cereal based mashes. Pinnacle Distillers Yeast (MG+) can withstand a wide range of starting fermentation temperatures with an optimum range of 82-100°F (28-38°C). Yeast can be either pitched directly to the attemperated mash or rehydrated.

Directions for Use:
Yeast can be added directly to a fermenter at a dose rate of between 4.17-7.5 lbs per 1,000 gallons of wort (0.5-0.9 kg per 1,000L of wort).

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Product should be used within three years of its production date for best performance. Packages which have lost their vacuum seal should not be used. Opened packages can be stored cool and used within 3-4 days.
