today i learned! the defining characteristic of vodka isn’t the raw ingredient but rather the distillation and filtration process that makes it a neutral spirit.
according to the U.S. TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) and the EU regulations, vodka is:
a neutral spirit distilled to at least 95% ABV (190 proof) and then diluted to no less than 37.5% ABV (EU) or 40% ABV (U.S.) before bottling
usually filtered, often through charcoal, to remove impurities and flavors
can be made from any fermentable sugar or starch—grains (wheat, rye, corn), potatoes, grapes, even milk whey
your particular sense of innovation concerns me, but you don’t have to wait to start making booze at home. for real, all you need is a bottle of juice, some sugar, some yeast, and some time. maybe a balloon and a straw if you want to be all fancy. seriously, though, search “wine from juice” on youtube.

I wonder if biodegradable packing peanuts would work…I think they’re just starch, probably from corn.
I’d love to build a still someday…
What the other person said. You don’t need fancy yeast or bottles, either. I did it with 2 liter soda bottles and bread yeast, back in college.

If anyone knows how to make home vodka, it’s a russian orc, hey, Yuri?

Gotta do something with that Kentucky whiskey
Vodka is inevitable
But that constitutes alcohol abuse
