Sugarheads are spirits that use white table sugar as the base for fermentation, like a rum, but have flavoring agents. If grains are included they do not undergo conversion so they do not add any fermentable sugars to the wash. Fruits with low sugar content can also be done this way.
Sugarheads are great beginner recipes as they do not require any specialized and expensive mashing or lautering equipment. You can get a great whiskey flavor out of them. As they are simple beginners can focus on learning distillation.
Many people keep with them even after they learn the craft as they as inexpensive and simple to do and make a great tasting product.
