hey ironhead- love your videos, did you ever make the video for the distill process?? if you wanted to give this rum a second shot a gut buy the youtube name of "sansironie" just posted (dec 17 2011) a similar recipie and is to post the distilling. Im going to givie it a try...will let you know. Merry xmas to you and yours from us in WV.
No disrespect taken. I met with a officer in texas when i was going to make "flavoring" . which is basically watered down brandys, She said i didnt have to have a liscence as long as i wasnt selling any of it. LOL.. then for about a year i had an officer show up at my home several times just to visit. I wasnt making enough that they considered me able to sell. not nice folks you want on your case.. let me tell you for sure now.

I did this idea, i used two 12-15 ounce bottles of molasses. I put in 4 lbs of sugar, and 24 grams of yeast. I put it all the water, but added in 6 cans of all natural pineapple juice. I ferminated it for a week, and ages it for another. I tasted it and it doesnt seem that strong, any tips of how to make it stronger alch %. I forgot to add that I did this in a 5 gallon bucket

@dusknixs You can make any homebrew stronger through a very simple process called "jacking". Just freeze your homebrew into a slush, turn the bottle upside down and let the liquid drip into another container.
Alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than does water, so the first drippings will have a higher concetration of alcohol.
However there are two very important things to remember:
Hey ironhead41, great video. It was really helpful, but I was wondering if there is another step or two before you can drink it, or if you can dive right in from there. I do love my eyesight, so a little assistance would be great. Thanks man.
@guitardudester91 its illegal to distill alcohol in the us......but it should be done to this.....you can drink it like it is tho......no blindness.....i have a vid called zippo refinery part 2 of 3(sometimes my vids are titled different than what they are for).....hehe
@196519751994 it was ok to be homemade......i am not a big fan of a dark rum at all........i would only do this again if i had no money but had the stuff.....
This shouldn't be 'rum''. More like 'molasses wine'. Might taste better if you replace the molasses(ugh I don't see why people buy rum) with sugar cane juice. Nowadays I do 'Melissa water' that stuff is good for you.

2. Always jack, at least, half of the wine.
