From what I understand vodka used to be made from fermenting potatoes. Has any one tried this and if so what is the procedure and the approx yields? here spuds can be a lot cheaper than sugar lol
The potato is a relatively expensive source for alcohol. Potatoes contain 15-18% fermentable material while grains contain 50-67%. 10 kg of potatoes produce 1 litre of alcohol while 10 kg of grain produces 4 litres.

Yes, but you kiwi's don't have currently have an embargo against Cuba. Supposedly sugar prices in the USA would drop by about half if the embargo was lifted.

[quote="nzbourbonhead"]I am scottish heritage so allways looking for something cheaper [/quote]
you could wait for the sales at the supermarkets, etc. I grabbed a load of sugar for CAN$1 per 2kg bag last month. I felt kinda odd buying 24 bags of sugar and nothing else, though.
