As soon as I get my bubbler I'm all over this. What sized ferment did you put your 250g of ginger in googe? I know you said 10L trial run, just making sure that was the ferment size before I go dumping 1.25kgs of ginger into a 50L ferment :laughing-rolling:

Cheers,
Dave.

Did a very similar rum a few years ago. Try adding 2 star anise with one vanilla bean,1/4 stick of cinnamon and 2 cloves pounded in a mortar and pestle then added to the hot water for the brew. Comes out very similar to capt Morgan's but with the ginger twist. :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance:
