Isn't that what mates are for - drinking all the booze we make? Let's face it, most of us can't keep up with production rates

a cricket match on TV 3 mates turn up,
JD honey no more, and England won

Yup I have done that with honey. It does settle out.

Molasses is similar. So is Brown sugar.
Coffer filter gets some of the particulate.
I add at 1tsp per litre and taste. Less sweet than honey.

Oh dear cant tell my "o" from my "f"
On a happy note, read somewhere about molasses
being added to rum.
If you were to add.
How?
How much?
Would you need to filter?
Would the rum end up cloudy?
I say this cause I tried to add honey to JD
neuk,it was cloudy but after a month it blended.
It was still cloudy but angels on the tongue!!

Was in the laundry trade and actually ran
a commercial laundry for nine years.
A did you know ?
Did you know that fabric softener is water
proffer, thats why towels dry you quicker
and easier without proffer (softener).

I Have a new flannel that I used just for this purpose. Wet it with alcohol or water whichever.
Laye in the Funnel and filter through it.

A brand-new flannel wants awash first to get rid of the fluffy bits. But after that I find a filter very quickly and very cleanly. Empty / wring out, jobs done. Wash ready the next time.

I tend to avoid fabric softener

I am trying to tweak this to get to kraken, which definitely has chocolate notes a tiny bit like Tia Maria.
