Sugar cane juice

[faste]

I been looking through threads for some insight on fermenting sugar cane juice, I sure I’m missing it somewhere. I got about 40 gallons of juice with a SG of 1.060 and several gallons of syrup to go with it.
I was thinking of adding some of the syrup and water bringing the sg to 1.080 and 50 gal volume

Any thoughts or suggestion please

It'll ferment better at 1060 than 1080.

What's this syrup you have?

Process should be the same as any recipe which uses fancy molasses, as it's the same except reduced.

You will need to add nutrients and will make a nice lite mildly spicy rum.

The syrup is cane syrup, so do we think it would be better to go ahead make the juice into syrup first?

Some of the better commercial rums I like are made straight from juice. If it was mine, I'd add DAP and Vegemite, adjust pH with sulfuric acid if necessary and pitch a well rehydrated bakers yeast bomb. It would be better if you could add dunder from a previous run. If I haven't got any, I start with a small ferment and strip to make some.

I still have cane in the field. Very sweet, it was a good year for the crop.

that's even better than having a son-in-law who farms wheat and sometimes oats and barley!
