There have been posts and attempts to reproduce spud vodka on this site before,but given its sugar and taste deficiencies, why would you even waste, power and time on something that will, after a LOT of unnecessary processing effort, result in a product, 'similar' to stuff we make far more efficiently... I just dont get it.
Maybe the illusion that vodka made from spuds 'must be good', still lingers in some of us...
my theory is that generally speaking mashing starches to produce fermentable sugars produces a smoother better drinking product than simply dumping in bags of white sugar.
my all grain whiskey is nicer to drink than my sugarhead whiskey. there isnt a massive difference but there is a difference. i was expecting that this would carry over to vodka also.
i was going to go with wheat but i can get spuds cheaper and well why not spuds.
either way im undecided how i want to make my next batch of sipping vodka
