if you want "authentic" sugar head .then fiend a wooden tub like that was used for water and holds about 300gal.throw in about 2-300lb of grain ,does not matter what.
add 300 lb of sugar. one large chunk of horse meat,or if you dont have that use a woodchuck/scraps from your last butchering etc..top with warm water and gallon of horse pee .hopefully in about a week it will be fermented (no yeast).now draw this off and run it threw your still witch was probably made from a fuel tank..
the meat(amino acids) and pee (nitrogen)was necessary nutrients when using sugar.
there was different methods/recipes but this is typical.you did not run down to the "brew store" nor the "farm" store there was no such thing.
been there....
