Great video and competition, Bearded! I tried the ultrasonic thing once and was not convinced there was a benefit. Certainly cooling and heating the spirit works, but it seems like you can’t beat the hands of time for mellowing and infusing barrel notes vs. acrid notes. Were your jar lids sealed or loosely covered? A side by side test of the same spirit and wood done with and without ultrasound might be interesting...

Hmm. For a pineapple bbq sauce cocktail I would try something like: 1.5 oz your pineapple rum or overproof rum infused with pineapple 0.5 oz honey syrup (0.25 oz raw honey) 0.25 oz demerara or brown sugar syrup (or more if you want it sweeter and less savory) 2 oz tomato juice (I'm kind of guessing here) 2-3 dashes Worcestershire sauce Dash soy sauce Combine in separate container and pour over cracked ice Maybe even smoke the serving glass with hickory (chill the glass first and invert over smoking wood chip) Garnish with pineapple wedge or rosemary if you like Feels like a boozy riff on a Bloody Mary. If you don't get enough pineapple add 0.25 to 0.5 oz juice. You might have to cut back on the sugar if the rum makes it sweet enough already.

B&B, Some rhum info: Just like "Backset" is called "Dunder" when making Rum. A "Thumper" is AKA a "Retort" when making Rum. Make a dunder pit. Drop in a Banana or two with some yogurt and brown sugar. Walk away until June. Cheers Man!

[@BigEdsGuns]

@@theworldisastage1984 It's the start of a dunder pit. When it is time to ferment another batch of "wort" for a rum. You can add some Dunder (A ladle for hobby scale) to the ferment to kick off wild fermentation. But most will put some dunder in the boiler when it is time to distill it. (Usually there are x2 Retorts so no puking) It adds another dimension of flavor to the rum. The Dunder (backset in the boiler) after distillation is then added back into the pit. Dunder pits are horrific infection to behold. But the cooked funk is what makes rum, rum... Some rum distilleries will add a small amount of fresh hot dunder back into the newly distilled rum for color & flavor. Then aged in oak barrels with spices. Some leave it silver. Some put it rite into oak barrels. Some add cane sugar and spices. Each rum distillery is different with their process and amounts they add. Cheers Chan Man!

Hey I have an idea and I hope you consider it! What you do think about freeze distilling and then “hypothetically” ;) running it (a brew) through a still? Would there be difference in flavor profiles from “hypothetically” just running it through a still VS freeze distilling and then distilling that??

Both processes remove water. I've never tested it, but my assumption is that the freeze distilling wouldn't make too much difference in the flavor if you're going to heat distill it later.
