[@jacob106106]

Looking forward for part 2! Perhaps add some coconut flakes in gin basket and/or column with packing? I never thought of adding some coconut milk! Good ideal! Thanks.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Great idea!

[@neilcordeiro]

Got me excited to try out my hand at Rum..👍🏼...tks

[@stillworksandbrewing]

You should!

[@Edgar-Friendly]

A benefit of having ready access to fresh pressed sugar cane juice and coconut water is to simply pour in the coconut water into the sugar cane juice to ferment. Also, adding pineapple juice/coconut water to the sugar cane juice to ferment together works well too. best is to dissolve coconut sugar into coconut water and then pour into the sugar cane juice. Living in the tropics where all of these resources are readily available and super cheap helps. Just ferment together and distill.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

nice!

[@robertlewis3336]

You've got me motivated to try my hand at coconut rum. Mine will be white, with no aging & going to try to pick up the coconut flavor/aroma by using (sort of) a gin basket.

[@anxietychannel]

Thanks for all your great videos...when i make it it taste better then bought👍 I dont know if i go to far here,but what happens with your right hand on the top?

[@serpent3136]

Nice vid Funny I just did a coconut run with honey a couple of weeks ago the dollar store was selling organic coconut powder and I got some wildflower honey and I made a 5 gallon batch with 2 kg of white sugar came out ok. about 8 days though mash was good

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Sounds great!

[@bigstevetiananga3577]

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

I'm thinking the mason jar thumpers are going to make an appearance...

[@BigEdsGuns]

"Retorts" when making Rum. 😉 Cheers RD4106!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

cheers

[@workhardplayhard801]

Seems like dissolving sugar prior to molasses addition, while you can see it would insure that it is 🤷 or am I just over thinking this?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

you could do that

[@TheSunnyTrails]

If your brew stops fermenting after several runs check ph and add water. I found mine kept stalling from ph being thrown off

[@stillworksandbrewing]

thanks for info

[@donnieallen5639]

Is 8 pounds equal to a gallon of the molasses?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

yes

[@donnieallen5639]

I thought so but wasn’t positive. I sure appreciate your videos and I’m good give this recipe a go.

[@donnieallen5639]

Gonna. Darn autocorrect!

[@777Dorado]

It's actually 11 lbs. Its denser than water.

[@davevoegele5271]

how old is your backset did you freeze it🥶

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I did freeze it a little over a year

[@extrazero1593]

watched while racking 5 gal traditional mead 18% abv :) cheers!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

this hobby is a labor of love

[@OVRCOME]

Can you post the recipe here in the comments including water?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

working on it

[@justinandre4421]

How could you replicate kraken rum

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I found a recipe a wile ago have to see if i can find it

[@robertnewman5658]

Thanks for your videos Randy. A few things I'd do differently; #1 use rum yeast; #2 aerate the wash with an electric wisk; #3 flavor after distillation using Amoretti coconut flavoring and something to think about is that the coconut flakes will absorb a bit of alcohol which will decrease the yield. Cheers!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

great points cant wait to see what happens cheers
