Re: Brown sugar dunder rum
Hello all, Has anyone used just dunder and brown sugar to create a wash? I am hoping to get some more molasses flavor from the dunder without the addition of more molasses. Seems worth a try. Thoughts anyone? Thanks, JB HI , YES it works , and i think that it has enough nutrients , in my experience...

Re: Butter Rum
I heat yeast and all, that and all the solids in the molasses is where I believe the buttery notes come from. I've never after one failed attempt try to clear my rum washes.

Good to have ya, also glad to see you doing rum. If time isn't an issue I just finished reading about Hamden rums and they do a longer open fermentation to help out with the esterification, you're I'm sure not the same climate but it could help with the flavors some imho. You're correct, sooo much ...
