EDV - 46 Rum wash

Postby law-of-ohms » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:11 am

Thanks to 5Star I now have some good yeast!!

Does anyone have a proven amount of this yeast to use per wash?

Also, when calculating gravity of a rum wash I am currently using a rule of thumb that mollases has ~%50 fermentable sugar in it and then plug those figures into the wash calculators on parent site.

Or, should I could the whole lot of mollases as sugar?

Example, 25kg of mollases made up to 75L of mash. (12.5kg of fermentable)

Or is this too high?

I also used 20g of EDV - 46 ( too low?)

-Ohms.

That'd be enough dry yeast i reckon. You can make it go further by either making starters, saving slurry, remashing your wash on the lees or pitching active ferment into a new ferment.

50% sugar content sounds about right. Check the OG and FG to work it out for next time.

It started @ 1.12 !

@ 1.06 now.

Put down last Saturday. so ~72hrs so far.

Heated with 100W aquarium heater (eBay) ~$7-8

I just think the start gravity is way high.

SG will always read high with molasses,all the unfermentable crap in it,just let it ferment out till dry,then run it :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

:text-yeahthat: I don't even try to get a gravity reading on a rum wash anymore and have come to the conclusion that without a refractometer the readings you'll get will be misleading , I'm not even to sure my fig wash readings were all that accurate . They worked out about 15% but were more likely 12 or 13%

Still @ 1.05 to 1.06 slowed almost to a halt

Taste is very dry, not sweet at all.

Will run this weekend and see what I get.

(I did add 20L of dunder as well to the ferment)
Had it sitting out in the back yard in a closed bucket for a few months.

5Star will have some good advise for what you can do with dunder :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just put down the next wash

75L fermenter volume

20KG bucket of Molasses
25G of EDV-46
25G of DAP
5G of Citric Acid

Forgot to add the ZINC supplement...

Day Zero - SG = off the chart 1.12 (hydrometer tried to jump back into its container!)
