Is that cos after a bottle of jack you can't recall any of the night?

Shot, I never tried the beer kits, $20 for a doz is ok for me.

I around 7.5-8L @ 40% after second distil, I bought a reflux head for mine (comes out around 88-91 %

), and a carbon/ceramic filter cause I couldn't be arsed with a bunch of z filters. I've got a gallon bottle full with 4 rum baggies in, 2 bags of chips, some vanilla and a few drops of "smoke" essence, its going to be the tits in a month or 2

Rum as in "a Tot" as the Naval chaps refer to, would have to be the most vile concoction Ive ever had to swallow. Can say that after many attempts.

It depended what the tot was.......if it was Bundy, it was f*king awful, but the last of the RN stuff we got, after they scrapped the tot and the RNZN was still imbibing, was superb..........

Have you got one of those fancy essencia carbon

filters like this? I've never made rum, I just stick with neutral spirit, black sambuca and gin.

**gatch** · 3rd December 2009, 22:52

Sure do old chap, I filter it all through to a tank at about 50%, filter it through again. Then its good to bottle.

It would be interesting to know how much impurity is left after 2 distills, and 2 filters..

You drink it straight ! Its essentially vodka when its clean eh, I don't like it ha, I would like to see how a 90% absynthe comes out
