From the parent site..(tater would be proud).
* In a food grade bucket, big enough to hold 23L, dump 5Kg of molasses plus 4Kg brown sugar into it. ( Just a guideline. I generally add brown sugar to 16-17% potential on hydrometer)
* Rinse the molasses container a couple of times to get it all out using hot water.
* Dump 50g of yeast nutrient into wash and add water while stirring to you have as specific gravity that aims for about 16%(17% is ok, but I just don't like to push the yeast too far... myself).
* Add lavalin EC-1118 yeast at temperature around 70-75F. stir in!
* After a good violent fermentation the wash will be ready in 7 days keeping the ambient temperature 70-75F.
* Let it settle... or don't. I've found no difference. Dump into still and let 'er rip.
I am going to try this out tonight. My question..
Can i just use hot water and a sanitized bucket or do i need to boil this up and let it kool.
ALso, it doesn't specify how much yeast,, 1 packet or 2 .. anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
PS: this will be my first rum wash... in my new pot still..
