DIY Making RUM (quick & easy) Part 1

i love how you aren't talking like crazy. all the other rum videos wont shut up. thank you.

As a general rule. Any video 9-14 minutes is gonna have some moron talking about nonsense to maximize revenue from youtube.

[@rudyando]

For some of these instruction videos I'll always click the one that's the shortest in time. Find one for 35 minutes and they'll yap about how their dog got drunk one time and blah blah blah. Just give me the stupid recipe!

[@randalllyons8467]

Yes indeed. It drives me crazy to watch an instructional video and the person rambles on until the video ends

[@pgprentice]

Hint: Add the molasses to the water until you get a gravity reading of 1060+ and don't add sugar, epsom salts or spice. Rum is traditionally water, molasses and yeast. You will find the end product is far better than added sugar. Cheers. (The SA plug is a give away! )

[@SamoesADIY]

thanks will try that

[@darrengodfrey1614]

Even add fruit, like melon, plum, even oak age it with spirals, chips or cubes.

@@henrynyabuto4892 ferment until you get to a gravity of 1.000 or below. Fermentation times will vary with, yeast type, temp and initial gravity reading.

I am sure it will work. Did you take a hydrometer reading?

no liquid coming out, its just a small pipe in a jar of water, poor mans bubbler.

[@wes6969fannys]

How different does it taste to a dextrose or plain sugar wash after distilling?

[@SamoesADIY]

Verry different. Got a richer taste. A sugar wash has a certain taste to it no matter what flavor you add.

[@pouncerminned863]

interesting video! Could you explain the plastic distill and the lid setup? I see you have a fish tank heater on one side, but curious how i can make a lid like that so i can distill

[@SamoesADIY]

Plastic distill? Not sure what you referring to. Part1 is the fermentation (in a plastic container) Part2 is the distilling (in a copper still)

This might be a stupid question but this process looks almost identical to brewing beer. Instead of bottling after a few weeks of fermenting like beer, I assume this mixture needs to be run through a still? great video pirate music + rum is a win
