1 Gallon of BlackStrap Molasses
8 Pounds of Raw Cane Sugar
Professional Rum Turbo Yeast
Brew Pot
Heat Source
Thermometer
Long Spoon


Sugar/Molasses Wash Procedure:


1. Place your brew pot on its heat source and pour in 5.5 gallons of water.

2. Heat water to 125 °F.

3. Stir in Raw Cane Sugar and Molasses and stir with long spoon until completely dissolved. (you may have to stir for a while to get your molasses to fully dissolve)

4. Once the Molasses and Sugar are fully dissolved pour in 1 gallon of cold water to bring the temperature of the wash down.

5. Check temperature and stir wash for 30 seconds every 5 minutes until the temperature cools to 80 °F. (This process can take several hours on its own, but can be sped up significantly with the use of an immersion cooler.

6. When the wash has cooled to 80 °F, add rum turbo yeast.

7. Aerate the wash by dumping it back and forth between two separate containers for 5 minutes.

8. Pour the wash into your fermentation bucket. We carry complete fermentation kits for these as well as the materials to produce your own. It is important to have the bucket, cap, and air-lock. A spigot also makes for easier pouring.

9. Seal your fermentation bucket with the air-lock and store in a dark place around 75 °F – 80 °F.
