Northern Rum

Sugar, and all about sugar washes. Where the primary ingredient is sugar, and other things are just used as nutrients.

Northern Rum

Post by subbrew »

Starting this tread to document my northern rum experiment. What is northern rum you ask? Since sugar cane doesn't grow in the northern latitude this will be a "rum" made with sorghum cane syrup.

This year I planted Dale variety of sorghum. Not as tall as other but good yield of juice at a bit over 13 brix. Because my press is small it is an all day process to press out even 7 gallons of juice. I smoked a brisket and drank beer to pass the time.

Boiled down to just short of a gallon of syrup. Given what I have from the previous two years I have about 2.25 gallons to make a "rum" with. I may add a bit of honey to boost the volume.
