A Better Vodka Recipe? Is More Sugar Better?

Описание: Teddy Sads Fast Fermenting Vodka is a popular home distiller recipe for very good reason. It's fast, easy and reliable. But can we improve on it by adding more sugar and changing out the flavouring ingredients?

What is the best homemade vodka recipe? How do you get more alcohol?

The Recipe for 180 L total wash:
This yielded 13L at 95 % ABV : 3.4 gal at 190 proof
1.8 kg / 3.9 lb Wheat Bran
2.2 kg / 4.8 lb Kibbled Wheat
2.2 kg / 4.8 lb Kibbled Rye
50 kg / 110 lb sugar (1.100 starting gravity)
(I would strongly suggest dropping that to more like 1.070 - 1.080)

2 t of DAP

1/2 t of Epsom Salts

400 g / 14 oz Bakers Yeast (I used Angel)

I realised after recording this that the genio is likely calculating the % abv left in the wash using the temp of the boiling liquid and the pressure of the boiler. Unfortunately, to do so it would need to assume that there is only water and alcohol in solution. Because I had unfermented sugar left in the wash this would have been thrown out. This is likely when the product seemed so clean so "deep into the run". In saying that I yielded about what I expected in terms of product.
