Bought it from Landmark Broome, lol they supplied it from Perth! If that's the only Molasses I can get I won't waste any more of my time.. been trying to do Gens making an all molasses wash (I wanted something stronger) but I've had nothing but trouble!
Of corse there's the possibility that I am the problem!
I've given myself till the end of the drum to get some consistency and with that, hopefully, something worthwhile putting in a glass...

My last feints run produced quite a lot of half decent rum. double distilling all the shit gives you some good stuff to drink :shock: :D and i run it slow to get as clean as i can with good separation.

Ive just put down a 50/50 rum and a 100% rum both boiled to kill any bad bacteria in this bad molasses. My theory, and this is only a theory is that if you take the clarification to boiling it kills off any of the bad bacteria and you get a cleaner ferment. the last few runs were not boiled and there were next to no hearts. some of the best rum i have made has been from boiling the molasses in the clarification process. these next two runs will at least give me an idea if I'm going in the right direction with my theory. The mixture definitely tasted better after the boil.Before boil it had a sharp earthy taste and after boil back to sweet molasses. hopefully that follows through to the final product. I have about a litre left of that 1 run that has made the best rum I have made and if i could make it again ill be a very happy man. :dance:
