I distill sweet potatoes every year. The key to mashing is to peel them as the peels are much too earthy and dirty. Also use pectin enzyme. The M1 yeast is spot on for this. It creates a creamy rich distillate that is worthy of barrel aging!
I've checked in a few of your videos, and you've often talked about Angel Yeast, and I wanted to give it a try, BUT I can't seem to find anything other than yellow-label on ANY store online. (Which really isn't what I'm looking for?) Do you know of any sites that DO sell individual packages of their product? (And ship to Canada, lol)
Is Barley and Hops Brewing ok? Where is he 🙁
New to Distilling and your channel. Hydrometers are meant to be read at 20c I believe. As I live in a cool climate is there a calculation if the measured tempeture is above or below 20c
Cheers from Australia
Any chance youccan do a video on making Maple Syrup wine?
I have a question, do you never use activated carbon and purify the vodka? In Sweden, we have activated carbon that is sold specifically to clean bad odors and to remove oils. I would like to point out that it is forbidden to distill alcohol in Sweden, but not forbidden to sell active carbon. Excuse my bad English but you know what I mean.
try 30% wheat and 70% barley wash for Vodka – Using dady yeast it comes off fruity
Do carrots
Why didn't you slightly roast the kūmara and then ferment it?
Great video, thanks so much, this is on our radar for the near future
So would this work with yams? ( American sweet potatoes)
Next time bake the yams, then smash them into water
I womder how it would go mixing reciepes ,like adding half kg of wheat bran ,like i did with the other vodka reciepie that worked a treat ,wheatbran sugar and tomato paste with a little citric acid and half dose normal white spirits nutrients.ill try it sooner or later
Sorry I'm not on target with the video, I've just come into a useful amount of pure fructose, and was wondering if anyone out there had used it to make alcohol. I've had a look around on both YouTube & Google, & have found them somewhat vague with a good recipe. Does anyone out there have any experience with a fructose wash, or know of a good recipe I could use. I've heard that it makes a hangover free alcohol. Thought it was worth a good old try.
Anton Paar in the homebrew sector! Wow!
Great video wish I liked sweet potato cheers mate
Why don't you buy an Indian pressure cooker and pressure cook the potatoes then smash them.
Anyone heard from our bothers and sisters at Doc Gradus?
Great job Jesse!! Next do sugar beets!!
KUMARA : in sanskrit means Prepubertal Age to pubertal Age group children. Appx 14-20yrs.
Almost 300k. Awesome 👌
Great video. I did some sweet potato vodka based on George’s recipe. I did 2 runs. The first was a disaster as I just couldn’t get enough sugar from potatoes. The second run did better but like you I added amylase. I was disappointed in the very low yield. Conclusion, a tremendous amount of work, a lot of cleanup for very little finished product. I had high hopes
I've tried sugar beet vodka (industrial one, I can't make any alcool in my country), it comes with lots of flavors, really different from basic water and ethanol mix called "vodka". So not surprised that with sweet potatoes it keep flavors.
One stupid idea : alcool from oignons ? 😀 They have a lot of sugar… 🙂
Yes, it smells like sweet potatoes and smells like perfume for me 😅 hehe, but can get rid of the smell by filtering it again using activated charcoal/carbon active. Thank u very much for sharing… Love 🥰 all ur video's… By the way Soon I will brew very unic whisky flavor Hehe.🤔
How is it with the Metanohl?
Made this twice now.
First time I baked them but obviously way too high.
Second time i juiced and then cooked. Got a s.g of and then added amalyse in case it didn't convert. Got the same after.
Try macerating some walnuts in the vodka!
ive been waiting months for someone to get a coupon code for easydens.. thankyou !
Hi, Jesse, absolutely love what you are doing. Crazy coincidence, I just finished watching George at Barley and Hops Brewing making Sweet Potato Vodka. If you haven't seen it already its a 6 part series done about 2 years ago. Slightly different approach but it seems the out come is about the same. Damned annoying I can't join the fun.🙂
13 kilos of sweet potatoes in Canada is …. very expensive 😬 almost 5$ per kg
And sugar is 1$
Cool beans, need to five this a try
🤔 Given that it's Halloween there's alot of pumpkins around. Pumpin spirit surely it's possible 😁.
I baked the tubers with the skin on at 80C until it was soft and would make a mash when squashed. Added some cooler water about 60-65C and got a 1.060 density. It took a week to ferment dry 1.005 at 25C using a brewers yeast.
Would roasting them make any difference?
the sweet potato might of been irradiated at the airport or markets depending on what country they come from., changeing the enzymes and de-activating them. it also changes the structure of starches,
Would the vodka be smoother if you filtered it through carbon? I was under the impression that was what made vodka, vodka.
Bhaha, Iv'e a bucket load of Kumera in the shed i grew, i'm never going to eat them all, so perhaps i'll try this with the addition of some barley i feel could be a winner..
Do you have Sugar Beets in NZ? I wonder what a the spirit made from them would be like. Sugar beets were once far more common in North America for sugar production, but I think other sources became more economical.
Sooo cool I found your channel! I’m a homebrewer and please correct me if I am wrong but that easyden does measure beer abv as well? If so I am sold !!! Always love watching different processes and informative!!!! Would love to see a twist of sweet potato casserole take or yams….I know some call them the same thing just covering all bases lol 🎃Cheers!
So glad I found this channel!
I guess that means you have to re-do the potato vodka episode – you know, to get a fair comparison 😀
