Just wondering; if you use koji or chinese rice yeast balls, the starch from the potato can be converted to suger by the mold and then converted to alchol by the yeast. I know that those yeast balls can convert tapioca tuber to wine, so it may work with potato.
@@sonyaethaniel hey, it only takes a month to brew but its like rocket fuel, going to take the plunge in a month or 2 too see if it's mellowed enough ....
patience grass hopper :P lol, fortunately, you won't have to wait too long. there is another potato related video next week and once the next batch of potato is ready they will be another :D
Great video Potato wine not one that ever came to my mind, but I do have a small mind. I remember that Potatoes were use in WW2 in beers to help save the grains for food and the beer was known to give you wind, nickname Fart beer, will this have the same effect? and out of interest you did not put anything like Amylase to break down the starches, will the wine have a haze or is it one left to age will clear itself? Well you have me thinking and wondering, can't wait to see how this turns out
lol, potatoes aren't everyone's 1st choice when brewing a wine. indeed, some beers did have potatoes added along with a little malted grain of various types. not too sure about the farts though :P I made an extravagant version of this wine a while back and apart from a thundering hangover ( too much consumption!) i didn't notice excessive wind. I did not add amylase, this will leave it slightly hazy but i wanted to keep this basic wine as simple as possible, it doesn't effect the flavor just the look. Over the coming months, I will be doing a few potato wine so i started off with the simplest version :)
I love history and if you check out the BBC's 2012 - Wartime Farm Christmas They make a version of the wartime beer, my grandfather was a London fireman with his brother in the war and the both of them were home brewers (only wine), no left over peeling was safe from my grandfather and sometimes even the water that the vegetables were cooked in. I do remember him using potato peelings in a brew but for what I have no idea other than Sunday dinner is when he would try them out on us, no such thing as a free meal.
I will have to take a look. I also suffer from the peelings wines ,in the winter months usually parsnip is a good one :P I usually wait for big gatherings to inflict some of my more wild creations on them, usually they go down well :)
Your wild creations have you ever done Mushroom wine, not one I've heard of. Just been watching it on Happy Homestead, but please don't worry you are still my main man.
You can Indeed, I did the carrot cider which is a apple and pear combo and hopefully the local pear tree with be ready soon. I do prefer wild fruits when possible :)
This looks like it could be fun. Would the potatoes need to be fresh? Have a bag going in the bin soon, I wouldn't mind doing something like this instead of dumping them. They're also red roosters not white like yours. Would any of that matter?
hey, older potatoes are said to make a better flavored wine. you don't have to used any particular type just so long as they are potatoes :) the part 2 is coming out shortly, you should like how it turns out :)
Just wondering; if you use koji or chinese rice yeast balls, the starch from the potato can be converted to suger by the mold and then converted to alchol by the yeast. I know that those yeast balls can convert tapioca tuber to wine, so it may work with potato.
hey, they are chinese yeast balls I use, a blend of koji and yeast together. a symbiotic fermentation as they call it :)
Do you have another video telling us how it turned out ?
This looks really good . Thank you 🙏
Ive never thought of making potato wine. Look forward to seeing how this turns out
It's different for sure but it has it own unique taste and uses :)
Can "Universal Yeast" be used instead of yeast nutrients???? And how long does it have to rest after it's done????
hey, you need both yeast and nutrients or it doesn't work.
well i will let you know when it's ready. i'm waiting for it myself
@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap So it takes 5 months to get ready?
@@sonyaethaniel hey, it only takes a month to brew but its like rocket fuel, going to take the plunge in a month or 2 too see if it's mellowed enough ....
@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap TY. Do you ever make vodka?🌸
@@sonyaethaniel i guess the sugar wash that's freeze distilled is pretty close, some where around 40%, more of a single malt person :P
Why can’t u use the Beta Amylase from the potato’s to convert their starch to fermentae sugars?
I’d love to see the more complicated version and a comparison of the two results
patience grass hopper :P lol, fortunately, you won't have to wait too long. there is another potato related video next week and once the next batch of potato is ready they will be another :D
How long let it set
Koji should work without adding sugar.
Yes it would but that's not the video....
what name this potato ?thanks to u
After this potato wine is finished I can distill and make vodka?
Brilliant content on this channel, cheers 👍
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Nice how much alcohol %?
How long dose it take until it’s drinkable
Hey, this will be pretty quick drinking with what I have planned :)
@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap What was "pretty quick" in time frame... a few days, a few weeks, 3 months etc?
Those fine potato Particles are called Potato starch, its same as cornflour
Yes, yes they are. It's also a neutonian fluid

Lol, it's cool, I don't mind sharing :p I haven't made a mushroom wine, I will have to check that out :)
Did He just add yeast to steaming hot potato juice? Right...
That is a most effective way to make a simple potato wine. Now the fun is when you add potatoes to a sugar wash then make the extra water go away. :-)
lol, magic potatoes :P as usual I have a little plan for this brew. should be interesting and odd but i can live it that :D
Can't wait to see it.
I'll be watching to see how this plays out. :-)
Should be Interesting at least ;)
Can we expect a pear wine/cider video soon?
You can Indeed, I did the carrot cider which is a apple and pear combo and hopefully the local pear tree with be ready soon. I do prefer wild fruits when possible :)
I noticed all the pears you have on your cabinet ;-)
lol, they are wild apples. i picked them a little early so letting them age to make more sugars :)
Ah, I thought they were pears. Anyway love your videos, keep em coming
lol, they almost look the same, come crab / eating apple cross. of some type. should be good for a spot of wine :) cheers
This looks like it could be fun. Would the potatoes need to be fresh?
Have a bag going in the bin soon, I wouldn't mind doing something like this instead of dumping them. They're also red roosters not white like yours. Would any of that matter?

the part 2 is coming out shortly, you should like how it turns out :)
@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap brilliant thanks. Look forward to the tasting
Seems a simple sugar wash with potato added for flavor. Not a potato wine in my opinion
What exactly were you expecting with a name like basic potato wine?
Tate & Lyle? When did this become Homebrew Wild and Fancy? :)
lol, it's a high class brew potato wine is, i pulled out all the stops for it :P next i will get a monocle :D
This interests me :)
it currently aging away. had a wee nip and it was like rocket fuel :P
What's the racking/bottling time? Currently got Ginger wine in my 5 Gal primary, but thought I would do this in a small 1 gal batch!
its the standard 1 month for this one, as it's has no enzymes its not a clear one but it does need some aging to mellow out the rocket fuel flavors :P
If you want to clear it, you could always evaporate the alcohol into an a collector...oh wait XD
lol, i could have used amylase but as long as it tastes good once it's finished :P
Till 1.45 blah blah blah....man talk less be specific n short
No one forces you to watch.
Practically billions of videos on youtube, and you could’ve spent that time to click off and find another video instead of complaining.
