...And that is why I hate chemistry.
It's just alchemy disguised as a science.

Ah that makes sense. Gotta add it to my long list of things I should watch

I thought vodka was made with potatoes.

[portuga@lemmy.world]

Potatoes are a grain? Actually where do potatoes come from? I know they can come from other potatoes, but of course there must be a grain.

These are the hard questions

[artvandelay@lemmy.world]

Potatoes are a starch.

[portuga@lemmy.world]

I don’t to go on a wikipedia hunt right now, for potato starch, but if you could educate me further, I would appreciate it

[not_so_handsome_jack@sh.itjust.works]

It can be made with either! I think most vodka you get (at least in the US) is made with grain, but there are distillers who specifically make potato vodka, too.

[artvandelay@lemmy.world]

Not much to it, The starch is essentially just a type of complex carbohydrate, and potatoes are known to carry them in abundance. So while a potato is still technically a vegetable, it's often referred to as a starch or starchy vegetable because of how much starch it contains.

We got the high-range boozimeter from the safe, but it burned out instantly.

Anything containing sugar can be turned into alcohol. Some easier than others.

[and009@reddthat.com]

Wonder how that'd affect the sales. Could either become local flop or a worldwide hit.

[and009@reddthat.com]

Probably got a bad one the. Mother Russia make great Potato

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

Sure, but what makes vodka vodka and not, say, brandy?

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

Chat is this real?

[psychedsy@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Processes. Vodka is just neutral spirits. Think of what makes whisky whisky.
