Well this is very fortuitous. I just put a run of your American single malt on oak yesterday and was deciding what I might make next and decided on a rum. So perfect timing. Congrats on your shout out from Jessie at Still It.
Great video pal, definitely going to try that dark rum. Turkey baster might be a good idea for transferring your rum to check the proof, that's what I use.
I enjoy your videos. I have commented on a few but never get a response. Hope I get one this time. You did not go over the recipe for the mash. I got 5lbs Blackstrap, 4 lbs sugar in the raw, and Dady but you put some powder in there and I didn't catch what it was. Could you add the mash recipe in the description or here in response to me? What was your starting gravity? I am about to start my first Rum and just trying to get a good place to start. Thanks for you work.
Hi RPTV, sorry about not a comment what i did add was yeast nutrient 6 TSP check the package use what it say SG was 1.083 that is about as high as you want cheers my Friend
@@stillworksandbrewing thanks. I guess I should have known that was nutrient. Not trashing you about the comments. I realize keeping up with what everybody is saying and asking is difficult.
I have the same still. How long did it take before you had the top temp you was looking for? It's took over 4 hours. I was around 180 degree F overheads but it never tasted good. I know aging should help but O don't know if it was a hood run. It came out around 140 proof mainly and we cut
I like the way you always tell the ingredients how much ingredients you're starting gravity and then gravity and all about it I really like your videos
Hi Randy, please keep the community updated with your recipe's, could they be tweaked to make a better spirit, and what would you change. Maybe we may have the answer, who knows. Look forward to next video, many thanks.
Love the show Randy Did a rum a few month back. Black strap and golden syrup , equal measures. Came out lovely. Think I’ll try your back set adage to dark rum on my next run. Keep it coming buddy. Greg … United Kingdom 👍🏻
It imparts richer more floral flavours when it's been dried if you taste dried peel or fruit compared to fresh it's a totaly different flavour more of a rich dark smoky candied flavour. Also it's less sloppy and messy.
