There are many ways to produce vodka. The most popular vodka is from grains, like rye, wheat and corn. Other options include using potatoes, beets or molasses. If using rye or wheat, first the grain must be mixed into water and then heated to create a wort. The heat breaks down the starches into fermentable sugars, which escape the grain and move into the water. Next, the wort is drained and the ensuing liquid becomes the ferment for vodka, also known as the wash. For potatoes the procedure is the same, just mash the potatoes to facilitate the heating and conversion of the starches.

Following the fermentation process, the wash is put into the still and is run once through a reflux and at least twice through a pot still. As mentioned above, the more bubble plates closed off in the reflux still, the higher the proof and the less the flavor. Also, some people might choose to filter the vodka through charcoal, which adds a slightly smokey flavor but also gives vodka its crisp taste it is known for. Finally, the spirit will need to be cut. Since the spirit is distilled at a high proof (usually around 190 proof, or 95% alcohol) it needs to be cut down to your preferred taste. Most vodkas are cut to 80 proof, or 40% alcohol. Vodkas tend to be clear and are not aged in barrels. Naturally, there are exceptions and you will find a few distillers abroad who will flavor and age their vodkas (which resembles more a brandy), but this is not an option in the US.

Once it's all done you can drink it like vodka.

You can't make vodka without a still.
You can get as far as a potato beer, but without a still, that's where it ends. Vodka is made by distilling the potato beer.

It's a whole lot easier, quicker, and yes, cheaper to go to the store.

Well I don't approve of the all reporting, as for boot legging Hell Yeah. I have read about freeze distilling, I have never tried it, but if you want to make anything good you will have to distil. check out homedistilers under equiptment>building>stills that are not stills. You can also find recipes and directions. Good Luck
