For a light and flavoursome Rum, RJ's Cachaca recipe will take some beating.
Should you ever try a Treacle (not GS) type wash,let us know how it goes, my suspicion is more like a "Navy" taste.

I fermented some molasses through, a few years ago - OMG that was rough. Althought a mate of mine loved it in coke ?!?!

I've been reading around & seen bits about washes being made from black treacle and/or golden syrup, then I found these guys ( http://www.cateringsupplier.co.uk/shop/ ... U02105.htm ) & thought it was a pretty reasonable price which lead me to trying to put a rum recipe together. I know a lot of you here make rum so I wondered if you had used these as your primary ingredients & what kind of proportions you used them in? I'm not after a really heavy flavour, SWMBO enjoys Bacardi & I would like to make something that makes her think twice about complaining about the smell in the airing cupboard!
I wondered what your opinions were on treacle vs feed molasses & what kinda split would make a light to medium rum? My current thoughts lean towards a 2/3rds treacle to 1/3rd syrup, then the bakers yeast & raisins that have worked so well for me before.
All advice great fully received

Benoit
