my English is not good.this is my first long subject that i have wrote in English!
OK I'm from Iran and wine in here is illegal!?
i made sugar wash with following recipe:
15 lit water + 3 kg white sugar
1 lemon
130 gr tomato paste(yeast nutrient)
half of multivitamin tablet(yeast nutrient)
40 gr corn flour(yeast nutrient)
40 gr wheat germ powder(yeast nutrient)
3 gr/lit yeast =45 gr
i boiled the water with all the material except yeast and multivitamin.
i added yeast and multivitamin after cooling to 30 c.
after 30 min the airlock begin to bubbling.
i kept the container at 30 centigrade.
after 5 day the airlock stopped.
The result:
very little alcohol smell.
Sour taste.
after distilling result(pot still):
2.2 lit alcohol with alcohol like smell and taste BUT oily even at first of distilling and all the product was oily so when i poured a little from than on the watery glass, i found that is very oily. or when i rub my fingers with that!
i think my wash sugar converted to fusel oil, fully.is that true?
i want repeat that but without lemon and high temp keeping. because i think the water PH is low (acidity is high) and tomato paste is a little sour.
if i can't succeed, i will use DAP for provide the nitrogen.

Re: fusel oil from sugar fermentation
Looks like your post got overlooked somehow? Sory about that.
Some things may be lost in translation. So I will ask a few questions. To try to help you out here
You said a pot still. Have you ran this still before? Or is this the first time. Sounds as if maybe it was the first time. If so did you do the required cleaning runs? Including the sacrificial alcohol cleaning run? That should he thrown away. And not use for drink?
This recipe is better suited for a reflux still. Not a pot still. But it can be used in a pot still with success. But it will need to be ran more then once. Should be diluted to 40% or lower and ran a second time. And possibly diluted to 40% or lower again for a third run. Pot stills are better suited for flavored drinks. Like a whiskey, rum, or brandy. A vodka can be made with one. Like suggested above. But its not going to be a absolute neutral. And why I personaly wouldn't use this recipe. I would use one like Rad's all bran or Gerber recipes. Although many do use this recipe with a pot still. With success.

Re: fusel oil from sugar fermentation
As a white sugar, I would think beet or cane would be pretty similar. Some tests on beet vs cane molasses we did in The Netherlands gave a bit "NO!" on trying to make rum from beet molasses.
"Add Mee"
