Description
DistilaMax LS is a highly versatile yeast strain designed to deliver reliable performance under a wide range of fermentation conditions. It features a characteristically short lag phase and a fast, steady fermentation rate across a broad pH range (3.25–5.3), ensuring consistent and efficient sugar conversion even in challenging environments.
Known for its strong temperature tolerance (18 °C–32 °C), DistilaMax LS adapts easily to different production setups, making it a reference strain for distillers seeking both robustness and fermentation security. Its natural fructophilic behavior makes it particularly well suited for substrates rich in fructose, such as fruit mashes and other high‑fructose raw materials.
Thanks to this combination of speed, resilience, and affinity for fructose, DistilaMax LS is widely recommended for the production of premium fruit brandies and a broad range of spirits derived from fructose‑based feedstocks. It supports the development of clean, well‑balanced aromatic profiles while maintaining strong fermentation reliability from start to finish
