Running some 8th gen rum through the pot. Even though this is technically a stripping run, had a little taste with some Pepsi from the 4th jar. Hmmm delicious.

Going to run 50 L of TPW low wines tomorrow (40%), should be in for a long day.
Put down 150 L of McRum 2 days ago, started foaming within 20 mins of pitching yeast, after 2 hrs foam settled & fizzed away (like a glass of coke) for the next 24 hrs, now it has near stopped bubbling all together, temp is at 29deg, Gravity was 1010 this afternoon, may leave it be for a week and see if it has any more to give, as i believe that Rum wash does not give an accurate FG.
am I correct ?
