vodka made this simply tastes terrible... it should be distilled multiple times and filtered a LOT, then aged in glass with a little hint of whatever you are going for...
Em , is that a filter on top of that bottle? If yes what kind of filter is it? And , during fermentation can i use any kind of yeast or some specific?
2. During the fermentation process (especially in the beginning) is production of gas - carbon dioxide, which forms the foam. So, fill the container for fermentation no more than 2 / 3.
3. Heat is released during fermentation. Moreover, the warmer the mix, the faster the fermentation. Therefore, the mix may begin to warm during intensive fermentation (at the beginning). But the yeast may die if the temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius.
So, it is necessary to monitor the temperature - do not put the container in a warm place. However, on a cold fermentation is too slow - it is optimum to keep around 30 degrees Celsius.
4. Instead of sugar you can use a variety of products that contain a lot of natural sugars (but not sugar substitutes like aspartame or cyclamate!). For example, a perfect (but expensive) alcohol obtained from the honey. Only caclulate how much the product contains the necessary amount of sugar.
The process of distillation, also has a number of features.
The filter, which you saw, is not necessary, but sometimes used to prevent the ingress of particulate contaminants from the hose. In this case, used cotton wool.
I do not know whether you have available special "alcohol yeast" used in the distillery plant - we have them available in local markets. They give the most rapid and high quality fermentation.
But it is quite possible to use ordinary baking yeast. It is better if they would be in the form of soft bricks, rather than dry powder - do you have this? If not, then I think the dry baking yeast is also usable (but no yeast substitutes). I do not know anything about whether it is possible to use beer or wine yeast - I think it is not reasonable, the fermentation is too slow.
@AlexxAXe can you please explain a bit more? does this mix have to be protected from air or it can be placed in an open bucket too? And is it possible to do this with other items than sugar? Please respond , Thanks!
1. If you want to store the mix in a bucket during the fermentation, make sure you cover the bucket with a lid. With free access to air yeast do not produce alcohol! So avoid access air to the mix. In addition, an open mix buckets may attract a variety of insects (bugs, cockroaches), and even small animals.
@AlexxAXe thank you very much for answering. I ve used baking powder to test if it responds and it does indeed react with sugar and creates bubbles. When you say it needs a lid but no access to air you mean i must not open the lid too often? if so it creates very much pressure inside.. is that bad?
You should not fear pressure increase. Typically, the lid did not fit very tightly. This allows carbon dioxide to leave container.
But, if you have a lid which may hermetically seal the containers, it is necessary to intentionally leave a small gap. Gas will go from there, and it will prevent the ingress of air inside.
Do not often open the container. Once in 2 days is normal.
Since you are using yeast as a powder, then I think the quantity of it should be reduced. But I can not say exactly how much - probably a factor of 2. This should be tested experimentally. We have always used the yeast in the wet form of briquettes.
Wow!! This distiller almost same as my one. Pan which heats up, in general precisely same. With the same clips for cover and in same way hermetised by flour and water.
just wondering what the change from the copper pipe to what looks like a black rubber pipe does before going back to copper? you can see it at around 0:32
They have joined two pieces of copper pipe/tubing. It is a connector, like a piece of rubber hose with two clamps. The seams are usually plugged with a mixture of flour and water, to keep the steam from escaping. It's Interesting that the tubing goes down into the water bath and then over the edge. A siphon effect or just the pressure from the kettle must push the liquid up and over the rim. This keeps you from running the tubing through the wall of the basin. Simple and effective.
Why they do it ? Isn't it better to buy vodka ?

It is better to use such mix:
0,5 kg of yeast
5 kg of sugar (part of it is possible to replace with sweets, candys or other sacchariferous products for original flavour and taste)
20 litres of water
5-7 days (depending on temperature in room) should fermented under cover (air didn't get in pan, but carbonic dioxide must get out).
It will turn in not less than 5 litres of 45 % of alcohol. Usually 5,5 - 6
