How to Make your Own 50% Vodka from Potatoes: • How to Make your Own 5... .
Hey folks in this film I'll be going through the entire process of making vodka from potatoes, all the way from ingredients through to tasting. The film was made over a four month period and includes the following stages:
1. Making a potato wine must from boiling potatoes and adding tomato paste as a nutrient.
2. Fermenting the potato must with Lalvin EC1118 champagne, sparking wine and cider yeast.
3. Running the potato wine at 15.75% ABV through my air still, in doing so harvesting the foreshots for fire lighter, before collecting the head and hearts. This is the stripping run.
4. Using the tails left in the air still to bake a delicious loaf of bread.
5. Distilling twice more on two spirit runs to make a triple distilled spirit.
6. Bottling the vodka.
7. Tasting the vodka.
The result is a very decent and smooth vodka, which incredibly tastes just like vodka (yes I was amazed too).
I hope that you like the film, and remember I'm just distilling for educational / demonstration purposes!

It is made by a company called Still Spirits. It is an Air Still, there is also an Air Still Pro. Shop around online, lots of places sell them.

Hi Richard, if you're going to make the investment, have a look at the Pro version, I've reviewed it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkZCktKdvso.html&lc=UgyfSzDfzmdyPE3-paR4AaABAg (replying from other account).

Then please check different recipes - ones that actually convert the potato starch into fermentable sugar. What was made here is essentially a sugar wash.

I make a really good simple whiskey. Many of these distillers (not him) go completely over board. I make about a gallon of 110 proof whiskey from a 5 gallon fermentation for about $8. Very simple. I use burnt oak wood chunks for the flavor and color in the gallon jug.

Hi... Im a new subbie here in Ireland. We call this Poteen (pronounced Pot_cheen ) .. made from spuds... in kitchens and sheds and the woods for hundreds of years. Usually more than 90% proof too ! lol. Can make you blind if not done correctly . :) Anyways.... I am trying my hand at making wine and cider thanks to your channel . I will let you know.... watch this space ! :)

@MossHomeandGarden Месяц назад

Hi Suzie, thanks for the lovely comment and for subscribing, I had heard of poteen, but wasn't 100% sure what it was, similar to moonshine I see! I'm glad you're enjoying the films and wish you a happy brewing experience, cheers!

Hi sir, After finishing distillation, can the remainder be used as a drink? After flavor it?

@MossHomeandGarden 2 месяца назад

It isn't something that i've ever considered, but I guess it should be drinkable...let me know if you try it!? (I'm referring to what is left inside the air still drum after the alcohol has been removed).

@TheGreatest1974 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this! 7 weeks is a long ferment though! You did well triple distilling it, but in my view, after you took the foreshots off, you actually had nearly a full litre of high percentage GOOD alcohol? You could’ve got 2 excellent bottles of vodka straight away from that. Nice touch bottling & labelling. By the way, invest in a carbon filter. A Still Spirits one. Put 1ltr through 3 times and the effect is amazing. And no hangover either! Great video. 👍🇬🇧

@MossHomeandGarden 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the advice, I now have a carbon filter, I’ve only been using it once per brew, but I’ll take your advice and triple this next time, cheers!

It is made by Still Spirits, check their web site and also look on eBay and Amazon.

@gunscratch 2 года назад

Interesting video. To make it worthwhile you really need to upscale it though. That was a lot of foreshots for the size of still so you probably took a chunk of the heads you wouldn’t drink anyway and that probably is why there are no cuts? The stuff left in the still is “backseat” not tails. Tails is what comes off after the hearts and smells like wet cardboard.

@MossHomeandGarden 2 года назад

Thanks Gunscratch. I only do small batches as I'm just doing it for demonstration purposes and I don't drink a lot of spirits. I did take a lot of foreshots, but I was following advice from a forum. There are lots of forums with lots of advice and often it is conflicting. I'm interested in your use of 'backseat' as this isn't a word I've seen before in relation to stilling so I'll read up on this. It's all a big learning journey and I'm happy to be advised along the way. Cheers!

@aaronweyl2272 2 года назад

Never thought you could use Potatoes turning intro Vodka.. I thought Potatoes are meant for food but you guess as good as mine I already knew you can grow them even form the shop/store. XD I think making Vodka is WAY difficult than brewing Beer. Other than that, good video as usually.

@MossHomeandGarden 2 года назад

Cheers Aaron, I believe that potatoes were the original ingredient in vodka. This was a good experiment that worked out well 🍻

@PaulSmith-jr1qe Год назад

You will find if you keep your wash SG between 1.060 and 1.065 you you will get a much cleaner ferment and a much cleaner spirit, the down side being you have to do more runs to create a full 4 litres of low wines for a good spirit run.

@MossHomeandGarden Год назад

Hi Paul, thanks for that useful information, appreciated.

@TheGreatest1974 6 месяцев назад

Don’t you use anti boiling chips in the bottom of the still?

@MossHomeandGarden 6 месяцев назад

I’ve never used them. Do they make a difference?

@TheGreatest1974 6 месяцев назад

@@MossHomeandGarden I use them every time for safety reasons? They stop boiling from happening and pushing the lid off the still. 👍

********************************************************** Who the hell throws out their Tails?????????????????? I have made some of the best bourbon from a collective of left over tails and late heads. . Little secret recipe and easy =)

@stuartmoss 2 года назад

Hi Norm, I'm replying from my other account, but yes I did used to throw out my tails (I had no idea what to do with them), but now I use them for making bread, and I have to say that it's some of the tastiest bread that I've ever made. Your bourbon idea sounds good though. Regards.

@G0pZ 2 года назад

why say this without giving the recipe? Ego?

@NormBaker. 2 года назад

@@G0pZ Dump into the still the late heads, Tails and hearts if you have them. I bought 3 cheap round SS screens from the dollar store that fit my 5 gallon still perfectly. I ran one SS bolt & screw through the center of all three and placed it on the bottom of pot. I add 1 gallon of water to the heads/hearts/tails. I then dump about 5-6 cans of canned corn into the still for bourbon flavor. You can grind/blender corn up if you can keep them from touching the bottom. Still away. Put on burn oak chunks/chips in a gallon container. Wait one month.

@patrickandkennafenwick3958 3 месяца назад

You made vodka from sugar, not potatoes. The potatoes didn’t ferment, the sugar did. Don’t believe me - try the same recipe without any sugar and see how much alcohol you get.
