Hi, could someone please clarify the sprouts aspect? are the potato sprouts, or what? :)

@@GlobalChannel-js4zl Hey, so basically you need mashed potatoes *and* potato sprouts, preferably chopped/smashed up. Sprouts contain an enzyme called amylase, that converts starches to fermentable sugars that become alcohol. It's similiar to making maltose syrup and real corn syrup. Both use methods with sprouts and some kind of starchy food. In this case, it's potatoes that get used. Their starch gets converted to sugar by amylase, and then sugars get converted to alcohols using yeast.

@@GlobalChannel-js4zl You can also use sprouted potatoes. The only thing you are hunting from sprouts is amylase, so use it in whatever form you want. You can also buy extracted amylase itself, no need for sprouts then.

Hey Zachary I'm not sure if you see my comments cuz i tagged globalchannel2022, this message is just to let you know the answer is here.

Yeasts feed on sugars and starches! They turn this food into energy and release carbon dioxide gas as a result. This process is known as fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas made during fermentation

@@musicmike1960 Your are wrong brother. Yeast do not feed on Sugars. I am a old person who have been fermenting things for a long time. When I started, I read endless literature from professional bio chemist and so forth on yeasts. Yeast eat nutrients in the flour. Not the starches or the sugars. That is why whole wheat will ferment yeast greater then white flour. One can also make a fermentation from hops. No sugars of starches involved. Explain that to me ? Second...why does yeast growth suddenly stop in flour dough after a given period of time? It should go on endlessly with all those starches as you say. No. Any baker will tell you the yeast fermentation stops after about 18 hours. Third, Why then do you have to feed a yeast starter? It's because the yeast have eaten up a ll the nutrients in the flour. Also..do you know what yeast nutrient is... that kind one buys at their local wine supply store??? It's Urine. Yeast love the things in Urine. If you don't believe me...look up Yeast Nutrient. I am glad I could inform any reader who reads this. I would bet you are set in your ways. Anyhoo...good luck to you.

@@NormBaker. I'm NOT gonna dispute your distillation practices, I just NEVER heard of what you speak...Good luck with your craft...Cheers

@@musicmike1960 Thanks. Hopefully you can research it more in the future. Do a equal test with sugar water and then a separate water batch with a grain/whole wheat. You will see the yeast in sugar water don't last very long compared to the whole wheat and water.

@@NormBaker. Thanks Norm...You're never too old to learn something new...I'll give it a try...Cheers

Sprouting is the natural process by which seeds or spores germinate and put out shoots, thus creating sprouts.

@@nycschoolsecrets2759 does it matter which?

Sprouts are the little growths of potato plant from potatoes if you let the potatoes sit too long. Basically potatoe seeds that are in the potayoes itself

@@pinkadam8989 thanks so much

@@pinkadam8989 so they pull off the sprouts from the potato and use them? how much sprouts did they use?

The book is "Getting Into NYC Kindergarten," and the company is Noodle Pros.

I would love the name of it as well!
