A while ago I failed with a sweet potato wine using rice leaven (used for making sakè) but didn’t give up when mould took hold of it. Switched tactics, removed mould layer and added sugars and yeast now have a nice alcoholic beverage that I have to admit is a lot nicer than I expected. It has a bit of a tang and a little bit of sweetness and have a good alcohol kick. There’s no way of knowing what % it is unfortunately as it was just a load of mush but I may try this again another way and see how it turns out without mashing the spuds. For scientific purposes of course. 🍠🍷 made a bit of a mess too 🤣

Well just cut the potatoes into small cubes boil in a gallon of water then after cooking pour off the water into your fermenter add sugar to get your gravity to specs don't use the taters in the must. That way you can eat the taters and don't have to throw them away and you end up with close to a full gallon.

Thanks for stopping by 🤟🏻 I won’t be redoing this brew as I didn’t like the end product but your info is welcomed as it may help others who try this style of wine to get a better result so thank you 😊

[@fermentedworld]

I clearly made the mistake of mashing them up after cooking them 🤣

[@tattoolimbo]

You are very welcome and live and learn right?

[@fermentedworld]

@@tattoolimbo definitely, always learning. 🙏🏻

I just made some sweet potato wine. I just used the cooked potato water no actual spuds. Instead of rice leaven I used both pectic enzyme and amylase. It's fermenting like crazy right now. Hopefully it will be good at bottling time.

Hi, thanks for stopping by 🤟🏻 personally I’d not brew this one again as I wasn’t impressed with the end result (I don’t actually like sweet potato’s 🤣) it was more of a test the rice leaven

[@randod1683]

You might not have needed to add amylase, it already has that in it

​@@fermentedworldI think mold might be dangerous even after it's taken off the top
