I used Prestige Wheat vodka yeast?

Final gravity readings between 1004-1006.
Because its grain its reading like a beer??
3x strip runs = 12.5 ltrs @52%
Spirit run in T500 @64 c.
Watered to 35%= 18.5 ltrs.
After cuts and diluting to 40% ended up
with 9.2 ltrs. Could have been a bit
more greedy but after quality not
quantity.
Aired for 2 days will now let sit and
settle for 2 weeks or so then taste.
It does smell good :) :)
