I am sure many of you have seen the quick recipe and pot still concoction on this site. However do you think only using bakers yeast, molasses and water would produce any significant amount of alcohol?


And on top of it all, distilling it in the teakettle pot still.

The theory of the website seems to be somewhat in line however, if the mash was tested what would it be like?

molasses, bakers yeast and water could result in a nice rum !

Don't forget to adjust the pH with citric acid. I always aim for a pH of 4,5.
Personally I always ferment about 5 gallon and distill it all at once.

Any potstill should suffice although depending on your wash size ... bigger is better !

There is plenty more info on http://homedistiller.org onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

You could get it to ferment to a decent %abv....I wouldn't suggest drinking it until after it is distilled.

also make sure what kind of molasses you have because if there is not enough sugar present you will have to add some
