Rum wash SG

[rumbo]

Hi everyone,
Just wondering whether there is any advantage to making a rum wash up to a particular SG. I'm using Lowans baking yeast and for my first wash I just followed one of the recipes with a mixture of molasses and sugar. In wine making recipes you tend to add sugar up to a particular SG but I don't really see that in washes for distilling. Is this just overcomplicating things?

Also, a second question. A lot of people use bakers yeast for rum washes. Does anyone use something like EC1118 (champagne yeast) to get a higher alcohol content in the wash, or does it affect the flavour like turbo yeast does.

Thanks.
