Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I made fermented sweet potatoes last week and this time they have a distinctive alcoholic odor so I assume something went wrong and I better not eat them. Anyone know what would cause this? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Sharon Guess I'm real slow today but is that for real? I still don't understand why it has alcohol;made it the same I thought as prior batches. Phil RE: Fermented Sweet Potatoes Oh, yeah, babe. Sake party at Phils.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Phil, Yes. Cross my heart. It is for real. The Japanese also make a distilled alcohol from fermented sweet potatoes that is the equivalent of Russian Vodka - it's called Soju. Here's another version: " Of all shochu, imo-jochu [sweet-potato shochu] has the strongest smell -- and I personally can't stand it, " said Tominaga with a laugh. " Actually, in the old days, that smell was enough to put almost everyone off it -- but now, people are saying it smells good. " http://search.japantimes.co.jp/print/features/life2004/fl20040530x1.htm I think fermented sweet potato, made into flour, is also used in some types of soy sauce. The sugars in the sweet potato are fermented by the yeast into alcohol. Maybe you got a different batch of sweet potatoes? They all have different sugar levels depending on storage, soil conditions, etc., as far as I know. Is the party still on? -Sharon, NH Deut 11:14 He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat.
