reconstituted cane juice to rum

[kobold]

i am looking for a 'rhum agricole' recipe for my 25kg bag of sucanat/muscovado/rapadura.
the first step is to figure out the amount of water needed to arrive at the original juice concentration. also i have nfi about the yeast... as i don't want to use molasses in this, the usual bakers yeast may not be the best option. help! :D

From what i can understand, bakers yeast should work fine. If you want, you could use EC1118 yeast or a specialised distillers yeast (Not turbos) :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hi ya not sure you'l quite get the out come you're looking for using cane juice but you could very well end up with a very nice Carabean style rhum maybe a bit like nigreta . I think you will still find bakers yeast as good as any as it is a rum yeast essentially and you are still using a sugar related product. This yeast plays well with sugar hence why bakers like it

thanks guys, i guess i will use the bakers yeast.
in case someone wants to give it a try i got it from here:

it's probably not the cheapest, but it's organic :ugeek: :handgestures-thumbupleft:
