Vodka is easy, get a big pot (4 or 5 gallons), wheat, potatoes or rye, yeast and water. Mash up the grain or potatoes with the water (a few gallons) then cook the mash and water for an hour or so to release the proteins then let it cool to just above room temp (70-80 degrees). Add the yeast and cover it for a few days stirring it every day. It will bubble and fizz, at this point you’ll need a hydrometer to measure specific gravity. After a couple days to a week check the alc content, once it gets up to over 12-15% then strain off the liquid. Now you need to make a still to concentrate the liquid with the 12-15% alc up to over 80-90% alc. I believe you have to heat the liquid in the still to 160ish degrees to separate the alc from the water. Once the alcohol content is 80+% just cut it in half with water and you have 80 proof vodka. Sorry for the long semi-confusing post. ---
