Turns out I have about 3-4 extra gallons of low wines from my big rum spirit run, so time to experiment! I'm going to try my hand at a high ester rum. I chopped up a handful of frozen brown bananas, shriveled oranges and bag of freezer burned raspberries mixed with some sugar and 2 gallons water and added yeast. When it's done fermenting I'll be mixing that with my low wines and about 5 gallons weird perfumey old dunder for a few days and then heating it all to 130F for a few hours and leaving overnight for some extra esterification before I run it. Filter it in the morning and save the fruit chunks and dregs. The heads from my spirit run will go into the thumper with some dunder and the fruit chunks and dregs, the filtered fruit ferment half with dunder into the boiler with the low wines and tails from the spirit run. Should be around 10 gallons in the boiler and around 3 in the thumper. I'm hoping to get a few gallons of high ester weird rum!
I'll be saving that dunder!
Any mistakes you see, or tweaks you would make? I have plenty of time for changes.
