Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.
Pics are VERY welcome, we drool over pretty copper
I started my first rum ferment. Sbb’s recipe was not followed but I learned here. Hopefully.
Approximately 50 L hot tap water, 5kg brown sugar, 1 kg white sugar 1/2 L corn syrup, a multi B tab, 2 capsules of Mag Sulphate and 2 Tbsp Fleishmann yeast rehydrated and pitched at 102*F…. This might not technically be rum. I get that, but it’s what I have. It will be rum ish.
There is enough ingredients to do another 50L ferment when this is done. Enough for a still run after 2 ferments.
I’m not a rum drinker but my Dad was back in the day. Lambs Navy Rum was his thing after serving in Her Majesty’s Navy. Dad passed away early 2020. My rum adventure begins in his memory.
All I had to do was talk about Lambs Navy Rum and Dad would start to salivate. We will see how this turns out. For you Dad.
