This damn internet has gotten me into so many weird projects. You can find information on anything - especially in regards to home brewing and distilling. I've got a test mash I made today bubbling away in my garage. All I did was buy a bucket & lid, put in 3 gallons of warm water, 3 cups of raw sugar, 2 cups of mashed sweet potato, and a packet of instant yeast. The sweet potato is my substitute for Ti root. I have no idea how it's going to come out, but even before I put the lid on (with a home made fermentation lock) the stuff smelled and tasted pretty good. I'll give it about a month. Wish me luck. So who's got my Ti root???
