Sweet potato pie and fries are great. Wondering if sweet potatos would make a rum? Or if this would end up being more like a sweet vodka? Any thoughts on this from anyone? Thanks

Like malted grains, sweet potato has its own enzymes needed to convert starch to sugar. Ferments well. Trouble is trying to seperate the mash after fermenting. Read where some of the Ole Boys made a 50 gal batch and finally dumped it all as they just couldn't seperate it. Maybe an apple or wine press?"

My daughter was stationed over there for over a year. She tried getting me the recipe but never could. She did bring me several big bottles when she came back. Like a mildly sweet vodka. Keep us posted."
