Receipt To Prepare Potatoes For DistillingWash them clean, and grind them in an apple mill, and if there be no apple mill convenient, they may be scalded and then pounded--then put two or three bushels into a hogshead and fill the hogshead nearly full of boiling water, and stir it well for half an hour, then cover it close until the potatoes are scalded quite soft, then stir them often until they are quite cold--then put into each hogshead about two quarts of good yeast and let them ferment, which will require eight or ten days--the beer then may be drawn off and distilled, or put the pulp and all into the still, and distill them as you do apples. I have known potatoes distilled in this way to yield upwards of three gallons to the bushel. Pumpions May be prepared by the same process used in preparing potatoes, with the exception of not scalding them so high, nor do they require so much yeast. Turnips Will produce nearly as much spirit as potatoes, but not so good. They must be prepared in the same manner. Next: How To Distil Apples Previous: Distilling Of Potatoes
