Confused about recipes.

[zx12]

So I am going to buy this: http://www.brewhaus.com/Essential_Extra ... 000010.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
I want to start making a flavor-less vodka (although it wont be that good) but i am very confused about the recipe and what to do.
First off, I know i have to ferment it. I want to make a 25 liter load. I know i need water, yeast, and sugar. I am unsure of how to do it. I have read http://homedistiller.org/wash-sugar.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow but still dont know. Would someone please just give me a recipe for a 25 liter batch and instructions?

Here is the recipee that gives the best and fastest ferment that I have used. It was posted in Recipees section, "need good rum" ... other good methods are listed there from other hobbiests. Knucklehead has one listed that only uses 8 oz of molassis if you can't get 1 gallon.

I found that a 5 galon wash does nice with a recipee like the one that pothead gives earlier.

I do mine in a 6.5 gallon fermenter
1 gallon (3.8liters) blackstrap molassis
5 pounds white cane sugar (2.3kilo)-brown sugar can substitute for the white
1 big lemon cut in 1/2 and squezed

put lemon and juice in pot with water, boil, take out lemon rind
add sugar and stir untill well disolved
add molassis keep heating untill the stuff comes to a low boil, foamy stuff will come to the top.The foaming will eventually stop. (don't touch this hot stuff with your finger---IT WILL BURN YOU BADLY).

Add whole mix to cold water and top up to 5 gallon. Put some in a clean 1 gallon jug 1/2 full, screw on lid, and shake 5 min, and pour back into fermenter.
Put the rehydrated yeast in...bakers yeast is ok, but distillers can get up to a higher %abv.

After ferment subsides, since I use a powerfull distillers yeast, I take 5 more pounds of sugar disolve in boiling lemon water, and add to my fermenter after it cools ( I store it in a 1 gallon jug untill the fermenter is ready for more sugar). When you re-feed, be slow about pouring the sugar water in. Fast pouring can give you a volcano of molassis.

I taste my wash to find out when it is running out of sugars.

So leave the molasses out, add 5 lbs. of sugar in it's place, and 6 ounces of tomoto paste.

Making vodka is not a matter of what your wash or mash consists of. You can make vodka form grain, molasses or fruits if you wanted. Vodka is made in the still, not in the wash. Now if you want the most efficient way of making a neutral spirit (vodka) then use water, sugar and turbo's. The most efficient still for making neutral spirit is a reflux still. You can use other yeast as well but then you'll need to add nutrient, tomato paste or blackstrap molasses which in my opinion is better.
