How We Make Our Rum With Molasses (Final Journey Into Rum)| Shakespeare Distillery (3x11)

:

Sad to say goodbye, but now it's time for the sixth and final journey into rum video. In this video, we fine-tune the production process for how we make our white rum here at the Shakespeare Distillery. After our first distillation, we decided to only clean the fermenter with water from a pressure washer, and to omit the addition of citric acid (which was used to lower the pH of the molasses wort). In the distillation in the iStill 250, we adjusted the settings on the iStill and added more copper to the still. Did we manage to decrease the number of distillations on the iStill from two to one? Well, you'll have to watch the video to find out. This is also the final video from the Shakespeare Distillery. 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
