Yellow Label Angel Yeast 500g Pack | Grain-Based Fermentation for Distilling

Overview

The Yellow Label Angel Yeast 500g Pack is crafted for grain-based alcohol fermentation. It contains a specially selected yeast strain together with distilling enzymes that help convert grain into fermentable sugars, supporting both cooked and uncooked mash processes. While it excels with grains such as rice, corn, sorghum, and wheat, it is not designed for sugar-only washes. The 500g pack is vacuum-sealed in aluminum foil to help preserve freshness from harvest to fermentation. Fresh batches from 2024/2025 are common, and some batches may show enzyme components that appear brown—this is normal and does not impact quality.

What makes Yellow Label stand out

• Specially selected yeast strain with distilling enzymes designed for alcohol fermentation, compatible with cooked or uncooked mash.
• Easy to use for both seasoned brewers and beginners, with a straightforward process to follow.
• Contains essential enzymes including alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, and phytase to support grain-based conversions.
• 500g pack is vacuum-sealed in aluminum foil to maintain freshness and potency.
• Best used with grain ingredients (rice, corn, sorghum, wheat, glutinous rice, etc.); not suitable for sugar-only washes.

How to use

• Pour hot water over the grain of your choice to start the mash.
• Cool the mixture to about 30°C (86°F) before adding the yeast.
• Pitch the Yellow Label Yeast into the cooled mash.
• Stir twice a day for the first 3–5 days to encourage even fermentation.
• Allow fermentation to continue for up to two weeks, depending on your batch and temperature.

Notes on freshness and use

Some batches may show brown enzyme components; this is normal and does not affect performance. Do not use Yellow Label yeast with sugar alone; this yeast is designed for grain-based ingredients. With proper storage, you can expect steady activity during fermentation and a pleasant aroma development as the mash progresses.

Real-life use and sensory details

Home distillers often report a robust mash aroma as fermentation begins and gentle bubbling as signs of activity rise. The yeast’s enzyme profile can help simplify the transition from grain to fermentable sugars, especially for cooks who prefer a straightforward workflow. While results can vary with equipment, temperature, and grain type, the Yellow Label is designed to offer a reliable starting point for grain-based fermentations.
