I am using a Clarifying process which although rather involved seems to be having many advantages . The Rum can be made without the clarifying process but I have found that with it foam up during fermenting is greater and puking is greater ...also the taste ...believe it or not is ending up better .

I'm guessing it would make a pretty good rum on a single gen and then a multi gen would have a bit more flavour. I'm interested in not having to do multi gens as I have no attention span, but I definately like the end product. If I can get close on a single gen then I'm happy.

I totally agree about ferment temps, the hotter the better IMHO if you want those yummy esters to push through.... I always found rum fermented at cooler temps a bit bitey and bland.

Also known as Ammonium Sulphate, fairly high in nitrogen content, handy for killing broad leaf weeds in lawns, It burns the leaves.
Quote: "It contains 21% nitrogen as ammonium cations, and 24% sulfur as sulfate anions."
You should able to get it at any rural produce store or at places like Bunnings and Garden centers in smaller quantities.
Im not sure if there is much if any difference between Di Ammonium Sulfate (DAP) and Ammonium Sulphate, personally Id be looking into that before sticking it in a wash.
