Does a hydrometer work well with a Rum wash? I'm thinking the inherent viscosity of molasses might throw it out of whack. My ferment went from 1.065 to 1.025 in about a week and certainly tastes done, but the calc says that's only 5.16% . I don't want to push the limits of the upper end as I understand that can give some off flavors but my end result seems a tad low and would like to bump that up a little, say around 10%. I'm using baker's yeast in an effort to keep things simple. Hell, that's why I'm still stuck on Rum! More sweet next time? Help, please!
Thanks
