yes.
brown sugar is generally just regular sugar with molasses added back in.

but really if you want to make rum you'll have better luck just using molasses.

i cant belive it. i just started a peach with brown sugar mash yesterday and you can already smell the alcohol in it. i never had a product work that fast. i used a "gormet bakers yeast" too.

I made a wine with peach and brown sugar and bakers yeast last year. It turned out real good.
