Fermentation alone can't produce alcohol higher than about 15-20%. To get a higher alcohol content like 40%, you'll need to distill the fermented liquid. The time it takes to ferment depends on factors like the type of yeast, temperature, and sugar concentration, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. Once fermented, the liquid is then distilled to concentrate the alcohol.
Molasses is a by product of making sugar from sugarcane. It's the thick syrup left after extracting the sugar crystals. It's what gives rum its unique flavour
Molasses for rum comes from sugarcane. It's the byproduct of sugar production. Apple molasses is made from apples and has a different sugar content, so it's not suitable for making rum but try it and let me know how it came out.
What is the benefit of Epsom Salts ?? Now a post on distilling thst fluid, making the caramel, dissolving the caramel in the distilled rum liquid, and how much would be bottled from that batch ?? Thanks in advance. Stills: single, double or triple system ??
Alcohol destroys magnesium in your body I.e. epsom salts/ magnesium sulfate. That's why you add it! Controls the D.T.'s. Obviously, u don't drink much? Stick to Coke a cola if u r unsure!
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
Please make a video on making a sugar wash finished as dry Gin and another video with fruit concentrate for a fruit Vodka. Please talk a bit about flavour directions that work best for craft Rum, Gin and Vodka, and some ideas for infusions Craft Distiller can try out.
1)First 6 ltrs of water to boil.. 2)Then in fermenting container add again 6 ltrs... 3)After filling the filtered mash again fill up with water (how much water to fill) ?
Bro! thanks for the video, can u plz tell what type of bucket have u used for fermentation I don't seem to understand seeing the video. Also please make list of required equipment and their uses for making rum. Thanks very much.
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
Apple Jack, is easy too. Apple cider with no preservatives sugar and yeast. Let it work. Then freeze it. After it is frozen solid, let it thaw the first of the thawed is alcoholic. The ice is water waste. You can freeze it again and get more proof in the second thaw.
Kind of dissatisfied. You didn’t show your finished product. You also skipped very important processes & kept us away from being able to create a finalised product
i love how you aren't talking like crazy. all the other rum videos wont shut up. thank you.

Besides this you want a copper pot still
Remember separate distillate into fractions and chuck away methanol
@punishedgloyperstormtroope8098 why copper?
Thanks for this amazing video,will try it out cause i want to fully go into alcohol and brewing business 😊
Dark life 😢
When do you distill it?
Couple of question, where did you get that bucket from? And second question, how long do you ferment for?
that bucket can be bought from amazon or ebay or aliexpress
The longer the better
The fermentation heater is the best thing I have seen!
Do you have any info on the heater?
Just a normal 150w fishtank heater

@@SamoesADIY and how much tempriture ?

jip, born and raised.
Tried your recipe with beet sirup instead . Couldn't find molasses. Hope it'll go well, thanks for the nice video 👍
I am sure it will work. Did you take a hydrometer reading?
Well I hadn't got an instrument for gravity measurement, but I did note the quantities. I've done it at a 5 liter scale

Molasses is at Kroger or publix or Walmart or piggly wiggly or pretty much any grocery store 🤣🤣🤣
@@Randomadventuresebike In the US, yes it is. In Europe, molasses must be imported.
Next time spray your pitcher with pam... the molasses will slide right out and the little bit of canola oil won't hurt your wash...
Thanks for the tip
Really looking to make a big batch of this with my friends! We're really thinking of starting up a brand
please keep me in the loop.
Do you have to add the spices into the rum?is it traditional
At 3:00 Why did you strain the liquid through a strainer?
There were no solids in the mixture.
there were left over spices
@@SamoesADIY That explains it.
Cheers,
How much does it have to ferment?
What is the clean liquid coming out of it at the end , am I ok with just formenting it out of a glass carboy and a bubbler on top?
no liquid coming out, its just a small pipe in a jar of water, poor mans bubbler.
Well done Sir!! Much obliged! Cheers!
Epsum salt purpose sir?
Why add more brown sugar ontop of the molasses?
Salt is a yeast killer. Is salt necessarily needed?
How about making smaller batches? What to do
how to make the bucket and get the other tools?
I used a food-grade bucket with a tap for easy draining and an airlock to keep out contaminants. You can find these at home brewing supply stores
I bet that smells incredible.
Yes it did.
How much will be alcohol level after fermentation.. I mean after 10 days ?
Around 7 %
@@SamoesADIY thanks 😊
What is that black cord you have running into the bucket? Also, the tube that runs into the glass of water is genuis. I've got a bubbler, but that seems to be a better technique
Its a fish tank heater to keep it at a constant temperature.
@@SamoesADIY ah ok. Cool
@@SamoesADIY what temp do you set it to
@@sproket168 about 24 degrees Celsius
Any suggestions on how long I should ferment for
About a week or so.
@@SamoesADIY thanks, also follow up qestion in the part 2 video, where would I be best to fine wood to age the rum?
Best option is to get off cut white oak at any woodworking workshops.

What is the function of the epsom salt and the carbon?
acts as a yeast nutrient
What size of heater did you use and the settings? Temps? What was the Epson salts for? Thanks
Hi, its a 40w heater, the epsom is just to enhance enzyme action
@@SamoesADIY thanks
How long do you ferment it for?
About 7 days
Great video. Do you have a list of the gear you used?
How many days is the fermentation period?
Around 7 to 10 days
What is molasses and how it had made

What is the benefit of Epsom Salts ??
Now a post on distilling thst fluid, making the caramel, dissolving the caramel in the distilled rum liquid,
and how much would be bottled from that batch ??

Ice coke bottle! Brilliant idea!
so can you drink it after the 10 days or do you have to still distill it ?
you can but its not nice, not nice at all.
@@SamoesADIY so its best to get something to distill it
@@squiddiddy yes
Do I have to use Molasses or can I use regular sugar?
can use sugar , but then its not rum, rum uses molasses.
Where can you buy that much of molasses?
any brew supplier, or sometime you can use animal feed molasses.
@@SamoesADIY that’s what I get mainly when I Google it, animal molasses.
@@BeardedRC you can use animal molasses as long as there are no preservatives present
Nice simple recipe. If I'm reading your hydrometer correctly, your OG was 1.060...is that correct?
Correct
@@SamoesADIY ...Awesome, thanks. Have the wash on the boil right now!!
@@steven_douglas Great! hope everything is smooth sailing, enjoy.
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
Plastic distill? Not sure what you referring to. Part1 is the fermentation (in a plastic container) Part2 is the distilling (in a copper still)
@@SamoesADIY Thank you! I just watched the second video and realized this. Also seen your vi on how to construct the still
amazingstill.com/se/Plastbrannaren.pdf it's in swedish but I guess you can google translate the file.
What temperature did the fermentation take place?
Around 24 degrees celsius
Anyway to get a replacement for yeast
You can let your fruit wild ferment. But not sure if that will work for distilling.
How much alcohol level???
Quick and easy like I’ve got all this ingredients in my house 😂😭😭
Love the music
What mixed spices are? Ingrediencies? Thanks
Pimento Cloves, Cassia and Nutmeg
is that brown sugar or raw sugar???? Looks like raw sugar.
it said brown on the bag,

Just until everything is nicely dissolved. Was around 10 min on medium.
How many liters of rum you get from this recipe?
After dilution about 3 liters
1)First 6 ltrs of water to boil..
2)Then in fermenting container add again 6 ltrs...
3)After filling the filtered mash again fill up with water (how much water to fill) ?
Its a 20 liter fermentation bucket. So around 8 liters of cold water

The process is the same but with beer you need to be extra caution on the cleanliness.
@@SamoesADIY so no Still ?
@@spring6meow for rum you need to still it
@@SamoesADIY much appreciate the replys and good content 😊
This is just the fermentation process not the stilling process

What percent alcohol is this rum
Probably at around 40

Distil? Remove heads. Add water down to about 45%. Then you have rum. Missed a bunch of steps
Don't use sanitizer as such It's dangerous. Could use washed and dried utensil.
