How to Make Homemade Hard Liquor 

FOR INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY
 

"Hard liquor" refers to distilled spirits which generally average about 40 percent alcohol by volume. Common hard liquors, including whiskey, gin, rum and vodka, are made from corn, barley, rye, sugar cane and potatoes. This article teaches you how to make potato vodka, which is a fairly easy hard liquor to make at home. If you would like to experiment with this recipe, try substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes. This recipe makes about a quarter of a gallon, or one liter, of liquor.

Things You'll Need

• 2 pounds potatoes (or sweet potatoes)
• Purified water
• Pressure cooker
• Pot or reflux home distillery kit (click here how to make a pot still) Note this is almost exactly like one of the salt water purifiers I posted about Click here to see)
• Fine mesh strainer
• 1 teaspoon of yeast (brewer's or baker's)
• Funnel
• 5 cotton balls
• Activated carbon (you can get this cheap at the pet store, it is the charcoal for fish tanks)
• Collection container (glass seal-able bottle is best to prevent strange flavors)

Instructions
