!!!Please Help with RUM!!!!

[rum is life]

I just ordered my still and I'm trying to plan out how I want to go about things. I've been reading just about every post on Rum on the site to try and figure out what I want to do. It will be my first wash/run and I want to know what some people who have done this before think about it.

First, I would like to use an all molasses wash, 1 gallon of fancy molasses and topped with water to 5 gallons. I'm going to mix 1 gallon of water with the molasses and heat to get a liquid form and then add water until I hit 5 gallons total. I have a Rum making turbo yeast that says it's designed to interact with molasses for max fermtation. After it ferments, I will run it through my pot still. I want to run off the first 250ml. Take whatever comes out after that, until it hit's about 60% abv to use as dunder/run oils later. I'm hoping I will get a 1 gallon yeild out of this as a sample run. I am planning a slow burn(for the first run) instead of double distilling. I am going to bottle 1/4 gallon to sample in a week and another 1/4 to sample in 2 weeks. I then want to try a 1/4 gallon straight as is(for control purposes) and a 1/4 gallon after filtering it with carbon. Does anyone have any tips on if that is a good idea or bad idea. Or if there is anything else I can do to make it better. Please help, I LOVE my rum and want to make my own.
