Lets make a smooth tasty vodka from sweet potato (Kumera).

Smooth, easy to drink with an interesting herbaceous sweet potato flavor that actually reminds me of Tequila. Suggested "easy" mash recipe: Grate 13kg (28.6 lb) of Sweet potato / Kumera Add it into a pot with enough water to cover it Add in high temp alpha enzymes (HTA) Bring it up to 92c (197.6 f) (or as high as your HTA will go) Mash for 1-2 hours Suggested "efficient" mash Recipe: Grate 13kg (28.6 lb) of Sweet potato / Kumera Add sacrificial HTA enzymes Bring up to a boil and simmer for 45min Cool back down to 92c (197.6) Add more HTA and mash for 1-2 hours until a starch test is passed Fermentation Collect all the clear wash, and optionally press the sweet potato / Kumera to get a little more out Alternatively, ferment on the vegetable and squeeze after fermentation Pitch your yeast of choice, I used an M-1 whiskey yeast Ferment until all signs of fermentation are finished and gravity has dropped near or below 1. Distillation Distill all of the wash with a stripping run. This is likely quite low ABV so I suggest running LOW (1-4% off the still) Re distill the low wines in a reflux still. The higher the ABV the still is "capable of" the better. But I did this with the humble T500 and it actually turned out great! ============================= Links for stuff in this video ============================= CTC Glencairn Glasses https://chasethecraft.com/shop/ctc-glencai...
