i read that in order to convert the inulin enzyme into sugar you need to keep the temp between 135-140 deg F (no higher or it kills enzymes) for 1 hour
Thanks Randy! Just started my first run wash this morning. I added 3 bananas that were in the freezer for banana bread and an extra peel. I was just using them for nutrients. Can’t wait to hear about the flavor. My buddy wants to make a banana brandy so that’s definitely on the to do list as well. As much rum as you’ve made lately, have you started a dunder pit? I’m going for a light run this round, to start some coconut rums for my besties, and get dunder pit started for a heavy rum this summer. I’ve got 5 gallons of molasses waiting to make ethanol babies!
There's quite a bit of variables in urs mine and his. Mash and still types how it's run. I get good banana flavor thru the run , I do how ever shoot the thumper with a good ripe banana mix twords the end of the run. The tails come out wild to say the least.
You left out some info. Never saw or heard you say when you added A and B or not B amylase. OR your Ph. All these steps are known to you but are unknown to those of us starting out. Leaving out info does not instill confidence.
I made a rum and spiced it from your videos and it's gone already. I have another one fermenting and will soon make this one. Thank you for all you do! Your channel is my go-to place for distilling.
Hey Randy, I know you're doing small batches, but if you want to scale this up, maybe consider demerera/turbinado sugar. American brown sugar is basically processed white sugar with the molasses added back in. The dem/turb is not processed, with the molasses still in it. Also, I know you're a 1-and-done guy, have you thought about adding a thumper to your rig? Only adds ~30 min on the heat up time & you'll get more yield at higher ABV.
