Nathan02 wrote:hey guys, just a question that i think i may know the answer to apart from the PH. on monday i put down gen 3 of my rum. i used 5 litres of Dunder from the boiler for each wash. i put down 2x25l and 1x60l wash. the 60l wash had the lees in the bottom whuch had 5l cool water on them for 4 days because i took my time getting my mollases and sugar together. i have used a new supplier of molasses for this gen. the dunder sat in a container for 4 days before using. i pitched fresh lowans in all fermenters at 36 degrees they took off hard. a day later( tuesday arvo) it was 32 and slowed down a lot. over wed thurs they dropped to 26 degrees. i havent done any ph checking. ive checked the washes this morning. one 25l wash is bubbling every 30 seconds. the 50l and other 25l havd stopped bubbling. when i took the lid off there was a tiny bit of fizzing but no carbon dioxide hitting me in the face. do you guys think A) its done or B) its shit mollases or C) a ph issue? or do you think its done? it does taste bitter and dry but not sure if thats the dunder coming through. cheers
