I love a good tequila or mezcal. Unfortunately, I can't get my hands on agave. So let's make a tequila-inspired spirit using Kumera/sweet potato and agave syrup. Mash: 8kg / 17.5 lb Slow-roasted Kumara / Sweet potato 6 L / 1.6 gal Agave Syrup 3 kg 6.6lb Sugar Water to make up to 45L / 12 gal About 1 tsp of high temp alpha-amylase (HTAA) Your choice of yeast (I used Pinnacle "S" rum yeast) Slow roast the sweet potato, ideally with a fire if you want some smoky impact. Dice it up and add to a small portion of the water. Bring to a boil and add 1/2 tsp high temp alpha-amylase. Boilf for 5 min then reduce the temp to just under boiling. Add an additional 1/2stp of the HTAA let sit for 45 - 60 min. Pour the above mash into the fermenter along with the sugar and agave syrup. Stir till dissolved. Top the fermenter off to 45L / 12 gal. Pitch your yeast and ferment. ============================= Products In The Video ============================= CTC Glencairn Glasses https://chasethecraft.com/collections/merch Chase The Craft Maturation Sticks (Shipping from NZ & USA) https://chasethecraft.com/collections/consumables/oak Infinite Inspiration Coin: https://chasethecraft.com/collections/merch ============================= Popular Series ============================= Safety Net Want to jump into all grain but worried about the process or the amount of gear you need?
