Hi guys,
new to distilling and have found heaps of great info here !!! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

the tpw is excellent , so much better then the chemical sh*t turbo yeast

i'm a big rum drinker , has anyone tried a molasses wash with panela / rapadura sugar?

thanks for having me :)

cheers Menzo

Welcome mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Plenty of Rum heads here that will be able to help you out, but not me ;-)

hey mate, welcome!

i haven't used panela myself but i think you would need to use only a very small amount of molasses otherwise it will over power the panela. say only a cup of molasses per kg of panela. should make a fairly nice light rum through the reflex, or pot still and oak for a bit more of a body

Thanks for the welcome Guys

Andy, yeah i was thinking of using less molasses as the panela is just evaporated cane juice , so should make a nice white rum or agricole style rum :)
