Potato wine using yeast balls.

[Paos]

Hey guys! First post here. I have had much success utilizing several different varieties of yeast balls to ferment rice, barley and sweet potatoes. What I was wondering is if any one you have had success using yeast balls or koji to saccharify and ferment your ordinary potato. The last time I made an attempt, I was trying to make a spin-off tapei, but it didn't seem to turn out right. Has anybody tried to make a potato brew using such a process?

Regular old potatoes oxidize pretty fast, I could see it being pretty nasty? just my .02

I've made potato wine. Simple. Leave them on the counter to get small and shrivel up a bit. Then grate them and heat as you would a mash for beer. Spare and squeeze the liquid out then boil and add some raisins for body. Ferment using D-47.

I know kind of defeats your use of the mold to get the conversion but potatoes convert with a mash. It's how you make potato vod...
