Is there any reason you couldn't pull the foreshots.and heads from the stripping run and just do your distillation run, without having to stop mid stride?
@milehidistilling16 күн бұрын
Hi, Pat. Yes, this is typically how spirit runs go. You'll collect your foreshots and heads in your stripping run and then not include them in your spirit run. Putting the heads in for this video was really just a mistake on my part.

Now we're talking, I love the topic of rum. Thanks for the "shout out" my brother. I need to email you but I forgot the correct email that goes specifically to you. Great video, as always. This dunder stuff is magic. Also, to you new rum makers, save a jar of dunder after you've extracted the alcohol out of the run, filter it a couple times and add an equal amount of freshly distilled rum to it and now you have a rum essence. The rum essence is used sparingly to darken your rum, it's amazing. Boo is correct when using the 20% rule for dunder. I do a 20 gallon ferment with 3.5 gallons of hot dunder PLUS a half gallon of hot dunder to rinse the molasses jugs. Once you've completed a run and distilled all that you want, use the hot dunder in the boiler to dissolve your panela sugar and molasses for your next ferment. Great job Boo, I'm tipping one back in your honor as I type. Thanks for everything, Navy Mark...

Sorry to correct you " I think you mean Muck pit" Dunder and Muck are not the same. Normally you would scrape that sludge in the bottom of the still in to your muck pit along with old sugarcane stocks and let it rot for a month or more. I hope you guys put together a double retort still to run your rum.

Your pits are muck. Dunder is what's left in the still after a run, what you would call backset. Most of the dead bodies tend to be more old wives' tales and accidents when animals fall in and die. But they do use a lot of fruit and fruit skins. Thanks for the call out, brother! Yeah, from my experience, 25-30% is the sweet spot. Save the leaves in the bottom of your muck pit, and it will help start your next generation, the left over yeast and bacteria will help feed your next batch and enrich your flavor and acid content which is what you're looking for in a muck pit is the acids you creat. They are magical once mixed with ethanol during the distillation process! Remember, there will be non- fermentable sugars in your mash, so if you go a little higher because you may not ferment out to dry/1.000. 1.100- 1.200 I've found to be a great starting gravity so if you end about 1.010 you still get the alcohol % you want. But yes 10-12% is a great goal range for potential alcohol %. Over pitching is not a bad thing with your yeast. Nitrogen is very important with rum ferments. To airate your ferment look at using a power drill and a paint stirrer they work really well! Cheers man! Another great video!

Haha! Yeah, it was a fun experiment, but we don't feel like it's a viable recipe to produce regularly. The yield is pretty low in fermentation without adding a bunch of extra sugar, the breakdown of the ingredients in fermentation messes with the flavor, and the watermelon flavor itself is too subtle. We still had fun though. Hope you at least enjoyed us running!

Question: I see you making rum with Panela. How does Turbinado or demerara sugars compare?
@milehidistilling119 күн бұрын
The main difference is the amount they're processed. Panela sugar is the least processed out of all the can sugar and I believe is going to have a bigger molasses content compared to the other two. I want to say there's also more minerals and nutrients in the panela compared to other sugars, but I could be wrong on that. I think you'd still make a nice rum using another type of sugar! In this case, I'd consider trying both. One run of panela wash, one run of turbinado wash, and blind taste test with your friends and family to see if they notice a difference
