Potato Vodka Producers

I was wondering about the idea of use malting barley instead of enzymes such Alfa Amylase for breaking down the starch. If someone do this how much you use per batch, or maybe you have and alternative way?

I figure like other mash bills, 15% of the total should be malted barley, bourbon being a good example

you mean 15% of the batch should be malted barley, but what does it mean, 15% of volumen? for example if I have a batch of 300 gallons, how much malted barley should I use.

thanks for all,

15% of your total grain bill. This is just a ballpark figure. Type of barley, conversion temp, and the amount of starch to be converted all play a factor in the amount used. One a potato vodka I suspect you could use a lot less but someone else should weigh in.
