Saw on tv Commershal rum recipe
Was watching modern marvels show about sugar. Had a part about making rum .Appleton estate was only label shown so guess it was their distillery.Guy stated they used 50 gallons of grade 1 molasses that weighted 12 lbs per gallon .With 10lbs of that being sugar was mixed with 200 gallons water and yeast ( didnt say what kind) and would ferment out to 12 percent wash in 2 days .
I use a pot still.Sometimes with a thumper
