Combo yeast for rum

Post by Sarge410884 »

Has anyone ever tried both bakers and distillers yeast for rum? From what i read the comb should give good flavor and a high abv.

Yeast don't give ABV they tolerate it. Too high and they stress out and shit in the soup.

The last thing you want is high ABV......if you want to make crappy rum go right ahead and try it.
