A standard vodka wash recipe consists of the chosen base ingredient (grains, potatoes, fruit, or sugar), water, and yeast. For example, a simple sugar-based vodka wash recipe involves mixing 5 kg of sugar, 20 liters of water, and 60 grams of distillers yeast. The ingredients are combined and allowed to ferment for 7-14 days before the distillation process begins. The specific recipe may vary depending on the base ingredient and desired flavor.
