Potato wine recipe

[sbond10]

Ok so I was watching dads army and they mentioned potato wine. So a quick search of google results in me being more confused. So has any one got a simple potato wine recipe they seem to differ so wildly it's just got to confusing ? For a 1 gallon batch

This is a good post for a potato based brew
I know its not a wine in the typical sence but I think its what they meant by potato wine
as these recipes were taken from The Ex-pats survival guide

I'm not sure I'd care for potato wine, but it wouldn't be the first time I tasted something that, to my surprise, I liked.

Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible:
2lb potatoes, 2.5lb sugar, 1lb raisins, 4 oranges or lemons, 1tsp tea, yeast (NB - for US gallon)
Old pots best but remove eyes, green bits, etc. Peel, pare, grate. Bring to boil, pour water only over sugar&raisins, add rest of ingredients when cool.

That much sugar in a US gallon is going to be quite strong, esp with the raisins as well. I'd chop the raisins, and as the raisins will have tannin I wonder why it wants tea.
Also, as with carrot and parsnip wine, probably better if spuds have been subjected to a frost (or night in the freezer) - gets some of the starch turned to sugar with parsnips

Warning: I've not tried it myself. I've not done many of his recipes straight, but have used them towards my average-out-everything-you-find-on-the-web versions of recipes.

Warning taken into consideration one thing aren't potatoes poisonous raw...

[oldbloke]

Yes well they get cooked in this recipe.

[sbond10]

True I've seen sum using raw ones

Raw potatoes are not poisonous. The leaves, stems and and green bits on the skin are poisonous.
