Tried making some pure sugar mash last year and it turned out laughable. Thinking about trying my hand at potato mash. Does anyone have any recommendations for recipes or tips?

What was so laughable about it? I’ve made some pretty good sugar wash (for vodka/gin) that turned out pretty good. I use sugar and add Weetbix as something to help the yeast (as an alternative to the popular tomato paste). If you’re in America, I’d suggest using the lowest sugar wholegrain cereal you can find. Maybe special-K or all-bran if you have them?
I’ve heard that potatoes are more trouble than they’re worth, as they’re messy and you only end up with a 3-4% wash, so you need way more potatoes and time than you might think.
not a pure sugar wash, but ujssm (See homedistiller.org) is dope. certainly easier than potatoes. also it’s dead cheap with minimal effort which allows you to have a lot of volume to dial in your cuts. also don’t use turbos (unless you got something like a large boka)
