  Where I live the summer temperatures are also too hot for the turbo yeasts. some solutions are:
  - cool your wash right down to 18 degrees celsius before adding the yeast;
  - Put the fermentation bucket in another bucket with water- evaporation helps cooling down a little;
  - use distillers yeast that may generate less heat on its own.
  Overheating of the wash during fermentation will result in less of an alcohol yield, but the end result may still be impressive.
  I don’t know if it gets cold in your part of australia, but turbo yeast gives impressive results (up to 22%) when the fermentation bucket is kept really cold.

  A quick question. At the end of fermentation do I need to siphon off the water or do I leave for the processing? I have a flat top still and the bottom is the fermentation pot. Any help will be appreciated.
