If you have a hand strainer and live in the cold like me you can set the mash outdoors and just dip the ice out as it forms. Alcohol freezes at a lower temp so you are are just skimming water. That is how we make Apple Jack. It should work with potatoes too but I never tried it. Please report if you do! Grandma used to make rumpot which was Apple Jack with a bunch of raisins and oranges soaking in it. Us kids never got any!

When it is strong enough just pour into canning jars. They do NOT need to be processed. btw strain the mash or your Vodka will be cloudy and may spoil from the residue. Cheescloth or a bath towel work. Even a t-shirt but you will need a few runs to get it clean.
