Potato Vodka ??

Any idea how one would go about it?
Thanks

From everything I read early in my journey I got the impression that spuds were a bit difficult to ferment, and that yields were way down compared to a typical sugar wash.

IIRC the spud was used as a base for vodka mash in countries where other ingredients were expensive or unavailable, I'm pretty sure there is some info over at HD but it might take a bit of finding.

Cheers.

a few threads an artisan, potatoes are low in sugar and fermenting them is a mess (as you can imagine).

Bloody hard work for little result.

Just trawling through older posts & found this one.

Checkout page 5 on http://www.mountainmoonshine.com/images/2001-10782.pdf. It has a step by step procedure using Novazymes enzymes + similar process info for processing corn & other grains / starches... The following contact might be able to help with "samples" ;)
