The Molasses Wort Fermentation (Journey Into Rum Part 3) | Shakespeare Distillery (2x36)

:

It's Part 3 of our journey into rum series at the Shakespeare Distillery! In this video, we transfer our blackstrap molasses into our 2000L iStill fermenter in order to make our molasses wort which will be fermented and later distilled into our distillery's first ever rum. Making rum is a black and sticky business, so get ready for a messy video. Since the Shakespeare Distillery opened in 2015 we have been making gin here. However, we have recently started attempting to produce rum using blackstrap molasses. This new series documents our trials and errors as we try to produce our first batch of white rum using our iStill 500 and our new 2000L iStill fermenter. As of this video's publishing, the rum is still not on the market yet. So follow along as we bumble our way through making white rum.
