Notes
  • I use Bobs potato flakes, (no additives listed, just dehydrated potatoes). 1c ~ 1 medium potato, 1c=8oz. Use the same amount as with corn or rice adjuncts, typically no more than 40% max.
    Whole potatoes work also but its more time consuming. Peel, grate and step mash for ~ 20min @140° first to gelatinize the potatoes.

  • Thick mash, (think squeezing mashed potatoes thru a pillow case), to get all the liquid, takes a good long time to drain, even with squeezing the bag. FYI potato flakes suck up tons of water, while whole potatoes contain lot of water.

  • If the ABV comes out less that 5% its Spudlite, If its 5% or more its Spudweiser and if its 6% or more its Spud Ice. Efficiency is typically vey high, adjust accordingly for your % ABV.

  • Initially very cloudy, LOTS of trub that eventually settles. Be patient with this one.

  • You can add 1 lb of a specialty grain, Munich or Vienna if you want to add a little flavor.

  • Full body, initially so cloudy you will think its a wheat beer but it will totally clear to a deep sparkling gold color.
