This Vodka is made from sugar, original vodka is made from potatoes, but the yeast make the same type of alcohol - Jak na to + styl
Quarantine day 56: Ran out of vodka, time to make my own

Nice!😂😂
Without a distillation process, you have made what is commonly referred to as "fuck all".
Xzarfna
I don't think I'd call it consumable. Watered down rubbing alcohol would be my description.
***** Bottle it and throw some jolly ranchers or kool aid into it and you got some cheap bum alcohol. Good enough for me.
Bartholomew Higgins Yes I've heard it called that too. A quart or two and you just don't care.
Vodka needs potatoes
Also, don't put yeast directly into mixture. Put in a separate container, with warm water and a couple tea spoons of sugar and let set for a few minutes to activate yeast. Then pitch the yeast into your mixture and stir in.
According to that specific yeast you do in fact dump it directly into the wash/must. You also do not need to make a starter or rehydrate your yeast in any way shape or form while fermenting anything. Making starters only increase the yeast cells you add to the fermenter and gets them going faster.
You put yeast in a jar with warm water and sugar mostly to make sure it is active before putting it in your mash
If you don't pitch your yeast, it may not start fermentation because your mash may not be warm enough to activate the yeast. It also speeds up the fermentation process.
@@1rifter I've been making home made since 2001. I've only started my yeast in a separate vessel once. Pitching the yeast separately can not speed up fermentation. That's just now how it works.
when do add alcotec
This stuff is delicious when bottled with vodka flavourings. And it's about 26% alcohol. It works out about £2.30 per litre. I love it with ice and lemonade. I'll be on making my 5th batch this time. I'll never buy expensive vodka again. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I need an answer as well,will I get drunk ????
Rock and Sock35 😂🤣😂🤣
You’ll lose ur damn livers with all that sugar
@@22lrjayden81 The yeast organisms eat the sugar and shits out alcohol. There is no sugar in the end product
@@saidahmed1028 yeast eat all the shugar so dont think so
In chemistry Ethanol is made from the yeast fermenting the sugar, it can also produce Ethanoic acid which is the main component of vinegar if it is mixed with O2
what is being made here is pure ethanol and water (minus the trace Ethanoic acid and yeast). its not vodka, its simply water and ethanol, dilute it to make it more pure and pretty deadly to your liver.
diluting things makes them less pure.
The Solution to Pollution is Dilution..😂🍷
I see some folks talking about "going blind" from this brew. As I understand it what would cause blindness would be consuming "denatured" alcohol (rubbing alcohol), or wood alcohol, which this mixture isn't. True, this isn't Vodka, which has to be distilled for a more concentrated APV. Heads and tails are accurate, but you're not going to have those "concentrations" with this stuff, just a fortified alcohol as you might find in something like Kahlua, or other cordial. This would be something to use as a "base" to make your own favorite Kahlua, Galliano, Lemoncello, Midori, etc. They just wouldn't have the same APV as the store bought, but would still give you a buzz. One of the classic fears that spring to most peoples' minds when the subject of amateur distillation comes up is that of going blind, or even dying, but this is a myth. Blindness, in this context, is caused by drinking methyl alcohol (i.e. wood alcohol). Anyone who ever went blind from drinking illicit liquor did so by drinking concoctions that were heavily adulterated with store-bought wood alcohol. There's a tendency for people to think that any mention of illicit liquor is referring to a product of illicit distillation. Many such illicit liquors are concocted by mixing ingredients from someone's garage or basement and are not produced by fermentation or distillation.
Although a trace amount of methyl alcohol is produced by fermentation, it does not occur at a concentration capable of poisoning an individual. In fact, such trace amounts of methyl alcohol are removed from spirits by distillation, but remain in undistilled beverages like beer and wine. The truth is, there is very very little methyl alcohol produced by fermentation, so it poses no threat to consumers of beer or wine where it remains in solution, or to consumers of distilled spirits where it has been removed. And, in the event of poor distillation practices where it may not be completely removed, it still poses no more threat than it does in beer or wine where it's not removed at all. Doesn't anyone think about doing some research on line before posting silly comments? I guess not, as there seem to be no lack of them here.
Actually your right this is not vodka, but your wrong about one thing, if this mixture is distilled at the wrong temp it will make methanol("wood alcohol" which is what is added to denatured alcohol to make it non drinkable)to low a distilling temp you get methanol, around 155 deg.F(non drinkable)the right temp you get ethanol, around 177 deg.F to 180 deg.F(drinkable)much hotter than than and you scorch it( then tastes like crap)now you have shine to make it vodka it then needs to be ran through several active carbon filters.Just a note they use the low temp distilling process to make methanol fuel from corn.
jeff sharp U GET METHANOL NO MATTER WHAT IT COMES OUT FIRST FROM THE STILL SO ALLWAY TAKE THE FIRST BIT OF IT AND GET RID OF IT
adam brockus Do you not know how to hit the read more under what is posted, any ways if you did you would have seen that i said at around 155 deg F(wich is around the time it starts brewing)also said that would be methanol (dosnt take a freaking brain surgeon to figure it needs to discarded).Second vodkas not only made with potatoes its made with fruits, grains and sugar wash, what makes it vodka is that its ran through several active carbon filters(do believe i mentioned that too).Before you get all pissed off like you know every thing do us all a lil favor do some real research, Dont go by what you seen on one of ya fave T.V. show Moonshiners.
jeff sharp didnt see it at the time
This is like when someone dies taking some pill that they thought was an E and it wasnt, but some other rat poison laced shit, then E's get all the bad publicity.(Probably another silly post) but it made me think of that. I will be distilling like a pure amateur very soon so its reassuring to know that I will still be able to read these daft fear mongering posts in future as I think I would be pish at braile.
Wow, you really pour sugar slowly.
Yeah, the stuff you talking about is called Samogonka, typically pale white with a bit of a faulty smell and is usually very strong(50-60% alc/vol). Plywood produces methyl alcohols and will cause blindness/death very fast if ingested, the antidote to it is actually ethanol (drinking alcohol). And yes there were a lot of cases in Russia of consuming it...especially when the Royal Everclear (95% abv) was popular during the perestroika era.
Ok well anybody who know anything about making booze knows this is not vodka. You can't BREW vodka, you have to DISTILL it. I don't see any distillation happening here.
"Vodka"
Agreed. You could put this in the freezer and skim off the ice that forms and get it up to about 30 proof. Be a weak vodka, but at least it would be more true to the name. They also make flavorings that will make it taste like peach schnapps, or other liquors. Filter it through a charcoal filter first to reduce the hangover potential.
Actually you are wrong. Vodka - is nothing more than mixture of high(96%) alcohol and water. If you distill - it's called moonshine.
OK, where do you get the high(96%) alcohol? You cannot ferment anything much over 25% as the alcohol kills off the yeast. The only way you get an alcohol content higher is to distill it.
PCShogun read
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol
Also factories producing vodka don't make alc, they buy it( usually cheap low quality) mix with water and bottle it.
What you have here is a 18% abv vodka wash ready for distilling. If you do not want to distill, just think of it as a diluted vodka, like if you leave ice cubes melt in the vodka and then drink it.
Where are the potatoes? where is the still? looks like you made a batch of sugar wine.
Thats what i was think i make moonshine and iv stilled vodka i dont see were there is a chamce on earth this would work
Lmao

@@afanvalleywarrior6351 it makes alcohol. All yeast needs is sugar water. I'm not sure how great this would be but might make a good mixer

You like men though
Tuna didn't say 'all' vodka is made from potato mash.
This video is simply a base mash to make into anything. I age mine to become bourbon with smoking chips from destroyed JD barrels. Some I mix with candies for cinn/hot flavors. But my base sugar-water-yeast is shine, not vodka. And when I use fruits, it's more like a rum or brandy when done.
Different names but they all mean the same thing. My buddy brings over gallons of honey and we make Mead.....which is ____ ?
Ok so you made, ethanol
Mix it will some Home brewed Hard Cider and its enough to give you a buzz. Booze last month went through the roof here in Ireland with the minimum pricing law. You cant buy any cheap vodka/whisky etc for less than €24($28) per 750ML. So if i can make home booze that is more or less palatable and at a fraction of the cost .. ill do it.
This isn't vodka; your product is a wash of somewhere between 12 and 20% ABV, depending on which of the Turbo yeasts you used. As it stands it tastes rather unpleasant. To progress to a spirit you need to distil and use a purification process to remove undesirable by-products. Vodka is made from grain or potatoes as the fermentable material, not household sugar.
.
Yea what Robert said and it needs to be ran through an active carbon filter(Vodka is also made with sugar wash and fruit)but none of its vodka until its ran through the carbon filters other wise it would just be moonshine.
Jeff, I think we would all be clearer on the subject if we called what you get by distilling a sugar wash "neutral spirit". That is how commercial / industrial distillers term it. If you are running a pot still, you can take the "hearts" fraction and that will be reasonably free of undesirable compounds. If you have a fractionating column it's possible to extract up to 96% (remainder water) pure ethanol. Once you have substantially pure ethanol (+ various amounts of water) you can add any flavour you want to it . Using activated charcoal for purification is a way of cleaning up the spirit if your distillation process isn't very precise. By the way, fermenting a wash containing fruit is about the only way that you can create a small amount of methanol in the product. You can't make methanol if you ferment only sugar.
Robert Seviour its old school moonshine
Matteo in 't Veld Not until it's been distilled it isn't.
Matteo in 't Veld NO it's not! "Old School Moonshine" Is whisky made from corn.
Vodka is usually not aged and can be made from grains, potatoes, sugars, fruits, and just about anything else that can be fermented to produce alcohol. This makes vodka an economical spirit that can be made easily in a short amount of time from readily available materials. .
I'm pretty sure this ' vodka ' won't be stronger than maximum 14 percent, as any higher would kill the yeast. You would need to distill it to get to actual vodka percents.
bakers yeast ferments to about 5-6 percent and there are lots of different yeasts that ferment from 5-24%. His specific yeast is tolerant of no more than 20%ABV
Ryann Large You seem to know quiet a bit about this process. (No I'm not being sarcastic) So what this makes, would you drink it? I'm debating on trying to make my own, following step by step.. read about other processes with air lock seals and juice. What would I use to cover this? saran wrap? and poke a hole or two for the co2 to get out?
Thanks for the clarification. Still is only 50% though, which means you'll have to drink double the vodka...
blitzcarn I would taste it but I can't say if I'd drink it or not. The only flavour it would have in it would be the yeast you use. A lot of people that want to see if they're interested in homebrew typically go and get a gallon of juice and a water balloon. If you want to try it out for yourself get a gallon of juice get it home poor off just enough to leave a couple inches of room for the must(wine before it's fermented) to ferment put about a cup of sugar in the juice and a packet of yeast give it a shake put a balloon over the top and poke a hole in the bulbous part with a pin. This will let co2 escape and keep bacteria and other crap out of it. Within about 7 days you should have something drinkable(when the balloon deflates). It's fun to watch your creation ferment away. If you're still interested look around town for a home brew store and ask them some questions. It's pretty cheap to start off homebrewing. I think I paid around $70 for everything and about $50 for the honey I used in my first 5gal batch which is still fermenting away nicely. :) Check out craigtube and newtohomebrew tom Craig has a video called inmate brew which is a video for what I just said to do with the juice and both of them have quite a few brew videos to check out.
Yes, but I am just looking for a simple way to make booze thet won't make me blind
Good grief. You used that whole bag of yeast? Dude you need about a teaspoon.
Yeah man. I heard today people have died before by using too much yeast in homebrewing.
I'm not sure I buy that.
i heard that if you eat your own poop you will turn into a stalk of celery but i dont believe everything i hear and if its questionable i look further into it before going around spreading myths with no idea what im talking about, maybe you should do the same
***** It is a myth. I was wrong. I heard it from a buddy who had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about. Sorry.
Piano Man42
yea pretty much nothing more than a waste of yeast you only need a small amount because the yeast will multiply on their own, which they will multiply enough to create more yeast than what was originally in the whole package obviously though to any homebrewer with even minimal experience its quite obvious the uploader of this video has extremely little knowledge in homebrewing if your really interested with homebrewing go watch some real videos that provide way better info this video and this guys "vodka" are total garbage
Here is the definition for vodka. Vodka (Russian: водка, Belarusian: Гарэлка, Ukrainian: Горілка, Polish: wódka) is a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made by the distillation of fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits and/or sugar.
This looks like wine. I was so excited thinking there was an easier way to make vodka. My zombie friends won't be happy about this.
was he drunk at the moment?
A nice hack for "making bad vodka better", then use a gas mask filter. They are really cheap on ebay, and just run the liquor through it. The filter contains active carbon+"coffee filter".

Nice tutorial ivan this will help us on combat!
Cool vid....for those who dont know alcohol. ..this will stop fermenting around 19-22....lets call it a very strong flavourless wine...
Key word: BREW. Distillation is illegal without permits, taxes, etc. in all 50 US states, regardless if the product is for personal use.
Distillation is a class 1 misdemeanor, distribution/sales is a felony.
Check the federal laws, I'm not wrong.
Exactly. This seems to coincide with the alcohol content, since brews top out somewhere around 20% abv, and obviously distilling can produce much higher. Then add the fact that a still can potentially be a bomb.
What's wrong with you guys? This person here is sharing how to make vodka. If you have read the last instruction "Cover your Mixture, but not air tight. Leave for 5 days or until it stop bubbling/fizzing". It can do no harm since he doesn't tells you to drink it. lol.
it can accidentally catch fire...
Derfelkardan Not a chance of catching fire at this proof.
mark apencer lets get a dildo and not use it
Vodka does not have to be made from potatoes, that is a Polish version you are talking about. The original Vodka uses grains such as Wheat as its base. There also tons of different variations of Vodka in Eastern Europe depending on the country. Here is the actual definition of Vodka:
Vodka - a distilled spirit produced from any material, distilled at/above 190 degrees, and bottled at no less than 80 proof.
pure waste of 2.39 minutes
they are just making alchohol i can agree with you fully brotha

He means as the lack of detail about storage or collection of the vodka at the end, the video didn't address that. If you want to dunk your head in the bucket to drink it, go for it 🤣🤣
Like the other guy said. The is only a jail cell hooch. A tasteless wine at best.
Vodka comes from potatoes, is distilled ,AND is filtered
definitely not vodka. not even moonshine since it wasn't distilled
Where the hell has the distillation process gone? Damn... Its quite important! Just a little!😂
Let's get some things straight here:
1) This is not wodka, rum or moonsine! This is just a mash that's been fermenting for a week or so.
2) I wouldn't drink the mash if I where you, distill it and you got %60 moonshine (could be a bit less, give or take) + FYI: traditional moonshine would be made with corn(meal)
This reminds me of How To Basic
Vodka is indeed made from potatoes, but this is sugar wash, a little different and will have a sweeter taste then vodka has.
That is only true if not all of the sugar is consumed by the yeast during fermentation and you drink it as is. If you distill it to actually make vodka then it shouldn't taste sweet at all.
it is true vodka can be made from potatoes, but if you read on the bottles we buy it says grain alcohol....it's just a generically distilled alcohol......add some juniper berries to it and voila! You got yourself some gin.
I thought potatoes had something to do with it ?
this is only the fermentation proces.
and with a turbo yeast, like the used alcotec 48, you could reach 15 to 18% in about a week.
after that, you will have to distil your 'wine' (2 or 3 times) to get a wodka.
and it can be even better than the stuff you buy at the store.
The air lock is needed not for bacteria but to produce more product. The yeast feed off of air in a normal environment but to make alcohol you need to starve the yeast of oxygen. At this point the yeast will adapt to the environment by converting the sugar into CO2 and alcohol. If you do not airlock and leave exposed to oxygen it doesn't starve all of the yeast and the yeast will produce less product. The alcohol distillation does not kill bacteria.
LOOKS LIKE THE INSIDE OF MY TOILET, THINK I'LL JUST BUY MY VODKA, THANKS!
the gator The vodka you buy at the store is made by using yeast and a similar process. The video is very lazy, but the vodka you buy is ultimately the same as his "toilet water."

The title is Home Made Vodka. Vodka is distilled. This 'drain cleaner' is not distilled.
It's the methanol that can kill and blind you and its almost impossible to produce a lethal amount of methanol rich ethanol from distilling a sugar mash, you will die of alcohol poisoning before you get blind and he is clearly not distilling anything in this video.... What he shows in the video is how to make a sugar mash, this mash wo'nt get any higher than ca 22% vol becouse the yeast will die and it will taste horrible but it will get you drunk if you're looking for a easy and cheap buzz! And btw... vodka is made out of potatoes and/or grains etc :) if you distill this you get some decent moonshine
You have to really, REALLY screw up badly to produce poison that you're talking about. Cast off the first 2 percent of your distillate and you're safe. The potential danger of methanol poisoning is woefully misunderstood. It was the addition of methanol and other bad alcohol derivatives that harmed people 100 years ago. It's easy to distill safely.
So sugar water and yeast that’s it and let it settle for 5 days can ye put coffee and vanilla in it when it’s still at 40 think it would give it a kinda Irish cream kinda flavour
All you need is water, sugar and yeast? Gosh I should had brought them beforehand now those stores are close due to covid19
VODKA?
You have made sloosh or valley liquor. Also known as Skull Pop or "Jack" in prison. Far cry from vodka, which is made from grain or potatoes ait's DISTILLED up to 8 times for smoothness. Go have yourself a glass of happiness.

@@carollopez8597 its only dangerous when you distill it, people untrained leave first drip with the main batch and that first drip is as toxic as yellow jacket venom that can blind you if drank.
@@Jo-se8dy this is a sugar wash, therefore 0 methanol is produced.
I do this with brown sugar and Molasses , They are readily available at the dollar store at the same price. It'll be rum at the end . Vodka with white beet sugar or Corn Sugar, or dextrose, is used as a fresh ferment-able sugar Its Ok . Most accidents happen in distilling with dirty lines or lead in lines. I simply use compression fitting and a system that I can break down and wash The compression lines add temp zones and make it easy to measure . This is not wood alcohol , Like some say , wood alcohol is what it sounds like scrap materials suck and corn stalks wood and grass fermented with an acid to break down the long strain sugars .
when I saw all that sugar he pour in I'm like "oh god diabetes"
The yeast eats it
Ok let me clarify, vodka is essentially 40% ethanol and 60% water. Most marketed vodkas have trace impurities, but if you distill fermented grain or fermented sugar it really does not matter. The distillation process separates ethanol with some water and impurities. Further distillation further concentrates the ethanol. Then it can be diluted to 40%. There is no difference between ethanol made from grain and ethanol made sugar. At the end of the day ethanol is ethanol.
even still its gonna have a base yeast flavor that will never leave. don't get me wrong, its still drinkable but vodka is a rather neutrally flavored liquor with low fusel alcohol content, this stuff will not be the same.
My friend, I made vodka at home and it drips, but is cloudy, and the percentage of alcohol is 10%. Does the temperature of the house affect that? Give me advice, I wish you good luck
Um... You don't make vodka off of stray sugar. You make it off of starch from cereal or root vegs which you then convert into sugars. Then the sugars ferment and you get alcohol. However, vodka implies you burn it and gather the vaporized alcohol.
40 degrees is wrong, the water is supposed to be 40 degrees before you add the sugar, after adding sugar it will be around 25 degrees.
The upper temp limit is 32.
I use an airlock but if you can get by without it, why not.
I find cleanliness is key with this kind of brewing, making a completely odourless and tasteless alcohol is the goal.
For the record, this isn't vodka either, it's neutral alcohol.
The title should be: How to ruin your liver
PinkPanther we have very alike names

hi
I work in the liquor industry and I can name a shit load more vodkas made from non potatoes than potatoes; Zyr, Russian Standard, Smirnoff, Four Oranges, Belvedere, Grey Goose, Ciroc, Gilbey's, Gordon's, Skol, Skyy, Beluga, Svedka etc. All those range from wheat to grapes, hell you can make vodka out of dead people if you wanted to.
I noticed from the video, it was foot vodka.
I would boil the water to kill any bacteria or molds and yeast, cool it to pitching temperature. pitch yeast, cover tightly with an air lock, wait for the fermentation to stop, the distill in a reflux still.
There is a unwritten rule, wear shoes when brewing. most importantly cleanliness is everything unless you want methanol and formaldehyde and other bad alcohols. If done correctly, you should get 96%+ in first run. dilute with distilled water.
No, Vodka is made from potatoes. It is also distilled differently than most other spirits (or is in most cases).
What this guy made is not a Vodka, plain and simple. It's also not distilled yet, so in reality it's still mash (or whatever you would call fermented sugar water).
If by sugar you mean Potatoes and by Vodka you mean sugar wine, then yea its home made vodka..............unless of course you want to make real vodka, then you need potato mash in your wort, and you need to distill the fermented product to proper vodka proof and clarity
...what? Vodka can be made from just about anything, not just potatoes. So long as almost all the flavoring is gone.
Vodka by definition is made by fermenting potatoes and distilled into liquor, fermented sugar or molasses after distillation is rum, since there is no fermentation in the vid, it can only be called sugar wine.
Vodka is a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol, sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made by the distillation of fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar. I copy and pasted that. Vodka is distilled to about 190 proof so almost all the flavor is gone, then water is added to obtain desired proof it can be made from anything that produces ethanol. Although this video is all sorts of messed up, you cant have alcohol without some sort of fermentation therefore sugar wine/rum is the same difference (most common definition is rum)
Please note if you drink this you will go blind, however if your hanging wallpaper it will do a great job
sorry dude but this is the start of how to make moonshine not vodka. All you have to do after the 5 day wait is distill it an bingo you have moonshine!! ta da
Ryan Hewett That process is called proofing and everyone does it to comply with legal standards and also most people couldn't drink anything over 50%.
rick ham well depends who is making the spirit. i have a great bimber that is 65% and you wouldnt say its that high
There aint no corn man. Moonshine aint moonshine without corn
I believe you, you have a lab coat.
TheNcohs13 p
...the version made of cereal grains or potatoes isn't bad either...
i think that was kind of his point. the guy he was responding to said the video needed airlocks and to know how to distill, but to make "vodka" or "moonshine" you don't need the airlocks
vodka can be distilled from any thang, traditional russian vodka was distilled from potatos because it was cheap. i have had vodka distilled fro apples , grain, sugar and other items as well.
I'll just go to the liquor store and get my Imported "Luksusowa" Polish Vodka made with potatoes. Absolutely the best Vodka you'll ever taste to date. . Priced right too
yes. it does.
ALL fermentations will have a small amount of methanol.
but even with a shody distillation, you would have to drink a couple of gallons in a short time, to get a harmfull dose of methanol.
heck, there is more methanol in the booze you can buy in the store, than there is in most of the homemade stuff.
a dedicated home distiller discards more heads (methanol) than most of the industrial distillers.
the yeast need less than 40° and vodka isnt made from sugar
A lot of Vodkas are actually made from sugar. If you use processed sugar you avoid the need for a mash. Probably the easiest way to make it.
Jules Rockefeller rum is made from molasses , not vodka, you are correct.
Rum is pretty much a flavored vodka. Whiskey is a vodka matured in oak barrels. Vodka is just an alcohol and water mix.
Apocyl Doomer the type of sugar he used in the video has minimal to no molasses
bill bixby. Vodka is made from grain. Anything made from potatoes is poteen.
actually a wash is vodka. moonshine is just amateur vodka. good vodka is made from potatos but can be made from fruits as well. but I agree that it is not vodka until it is distilled
bloke has a wedding band, wonder what his wife's thinkin
I'm with LordTuna. This is sugar shine only. Potato starches need to be converted to sugar with an Amylase Enzyme. The Turbo Yeast simply changes sugar to alcohol. I like them method...used a lot...but not vodka.
I know this is a terrible video, but I have to point out that only a minority of vodkas are made from potatoes, most of them are made from grains. They can also be made from fruits and sugar, yes, even sugar. The idea is that no matter what product you're using, it has to contain sugar to ferment; and then this is distilled to a very high alcohol content, so almost no flavour other than ethanol is left. That's why technically vodka can be made from anything.
This isn't Vodka. It's a sugar wash. Vodka is make with potatoes. and distilled.
+Thomas edwin ...what do you think? From the first time 60% alcohol, and are perfect ... so I do and I ...

whoa that's a lot of yeast o.o
even if you did distille this it would probley still be shity vodka you need to use a corn or potato mash to make something worth drinking
Just a straight sugar wash, nothing to see here
the alcohol percentage is equal to the amount of sugar you use as to the amount of water. Sugar is what gives you the alcohol. Too much water and you reduce alcohol you end up with, simple.
Fact is Jake fuck u bitch, it's a sugar wash and very simple, add sugar, water and yeast you get alcohol nothing earth shatteringly educational about it and even you could do it.

This guy doesn't know a thing, Webster dictionary (vod·ka noun \ˈväd-kə\ : a colorless liquor of neutral spirits distilled from a mash (as of rye or wheat) . It was made from potatoes back in old russia. And Russia is not the proven creator of vodka.
Only Poland and WWII Russia use potatoes. Most Vodka is made from grain.
it matters with wine letting oxygen in AFTER it STOPPED fermenting. as for vodka it don't matter much. hell the batch I made threw nearly all the water out of the S bend ( i have a still and the whole bit). you need the hot water to help dissolve the sugar, then after it cools to about 22C, you add the yeast and as for me i add a heater that keeps it 22C.
I make my own spirits this way dude. The wash is normaly @ 20% then I put it in a Turbo 500 Still and I get 24-25 bottles @ 37.5% but I do double up the amount this guy used.
No need for an air lock. Fermentation is just the first step.
This wash then needs to be distilled,cut, filtered and flavoured.
Distillation would kill any yeast people are crying about...
Mankind has been brewing for thousands of years without airlocks....
I would be so scared to drink this..drinking poorly made alcohol is just as dangerous as drinking hemlock tea or cyanide.
It most certainly is.
This is jail house vodka. It's crude, rude and isn't that potent. But it is still a basic alcohol drink. It won't kill you but it isn't a premium liquor either. When in hard times, drink a hard drink and take your chances...
not sure if sarcasm or not. For the record, wine has more methanol than spirits do, provided that you throw out your heads when distilling.
Horrible video. Making a sweet wash is not vodka. What is made in the video will have an alcohol content between 10% and 20%. Vodka needs to be at least 40% (80 proof). The only way to do that is to distill the wash.
actually, with proper distilling, it will become a vodka. there's no official standard for vodka, it just needs to be to be a neutral spirit. to accomplish this, it goes through multiple distilling cycles to remove any anything else other than water and ethanol, then you dilute it with distilled water.
Common misconception that vodka is made from potatoes. Vodka is unlike Brandy or Whiskey, in that you're NOT trying to get flavours from the original mash. You're fermenting something and trying to get as close to 100% ethanol as possible, and then watering it down to desired gravity. With grain specific spirits (such as Whiskey), you're trying more for 85% purity, to keep some desirable impurities, such as a peated smell. Vodka most certainly can be made by distilling fermented sugar water.
This is correct. I made many batches in my youth, and his formula is correct. However, when the mash stops bubbling, then come the fun part of distillation. And the other thing, is that if one is caught selling it without a Federal license, they are facing a felony charge. Ask some of the old moonshiners from back in the day.
untrue. vodka can be made from anything fermentable. Vodka quality is determined by the purity of the ethanol produced from distilation, NOT by the grains or fermentables used.
this won't give you vodka, this will give you a 20% brew at most. In order for a stronger drink you must distill this brew and add more liquid to lower the alcohol percentage in a volume. (unless you want to drink 80%+ ethanol ;) )
Let's assume he uses an airlock next time. Would this solution work if he were to distill it after fermentation, or is this just a complete non-starter for vodka?
Vodka is just alcohol and water. You can make vodka out of anything that has alcohol in it with enough distillation.
Agree with all the other posters. Not to mention the bacteria thriving on that open bucket after 5 days. Gees...
This video show a very rough example of making a basic sugar mash. I would not recommend this method.
