Feed grade molasses 5kg's
3kg of raw sugar
80gms bakers yeast
Seemed to ferment ok, I kept it at about 30c to 35c for 4 or 5 days until fermentation stopped.
Left for about 10 days to settle
So now I have 25 litres of muddy (black) wash with about 5mm of clear liquid on top :scared-eek:
Is this normal or have I stuffed up somewhere ?
Should I just run it as is or dump it, just hate to waste the time and gas to run it if it's stuffed
cheers Keith

It was 6 generations to make almost 25 litres of final product and is now about 9 months old (from the final addition) with 12.5g / litre of light French Oak. It tastes pretty good at the moment but the question is do I need to start removing the oak or will it be ok to leave at this concentration.

Has anyone tried this?

Have you tried it this way and if so what were the results like?
My dunder pit isn't ready yet, looking forward to seeing the difference it can make.

Should I use 4 plates AND an inline thumper or will I lose too much flavour?
This rum isn't for me to drink as I'm still not much for rum so I guess taste is subjective.
What would you guys who seem to love your rum do with 100 liters of mcrum wash?
Not going to do a strip and spirit run if I can help it.
don't forget your boiling the broth as well... even if it isn't @ 100 degrees it will still lyse majority of the bacteria!
