Base Ingredients

Distillation Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into small pieces. Measure 10 cups of chopped potatoes to ensure you have enough for fermentation.

  2. 2

    Mix with Water

    In a large fermentation container, combine the chopped potatoes and 4 liters of water. Stir well to mix.

  3. 3

    Add Yeast

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of yeast over the potato and water mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the yeast evenly.

  4. 4

    Ferment the Mixture

    Cover the fermentation container with a cloth and let it sit in a warm area for about 5-7 days, stirring daily, until bubbling stops.

Distillation

  1. 5

    First Distillation

    Once fermentation is complete, pour the mixture into a distillation apparatus. Heat slowly to separate the alcohol from the solids.

  2. 6

    Collect Distillate

    Collect the distillate in a clean container. It should have a strong alcohol aroma.

  3. 7

    Second Distillation (optional)

    For a smoother vodka, you can distill the collected distillate a second time. Repeat the heating and collection process.

Finalization

  1. 8

    Filter the Vodka

    To enhance purity, run the vodka through activated carbon. This will help remove any remaining impurities.

  2. 9

    Flavoring (optional)

    If desired, add 1 teaspoon of flavored extract to the filtered vodka. Stir well to combine.

  3. 10

    Bottle the Vodka

    Transfer the vodka into clean bottles for storage. Seal tightly and label.
