Hi Bea how goes it?

Well got the next batch of mean brew under way, this time used 5kg White refined cane sugar and 1.5kg molasses so we will see how this turns out....

After a couple of weeks storage the last brew has begun to take on the distinctive Rum flavour at last ;D

Good luck this time round Aelthric.

Perhaps I should PM you my address, or maybe even drop some subtle hints.

lucky you, although it seems experience made the difference not luck.

have you ever made wine from cotoneaster berries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotoneaster

friend made a rather large batch and binned it as he was told they were poisonous. we couldn't find out for certainty that they were poisonous . diff sites state different things

Wiki says it's related to hawtorns. I know some Crataegus species are poisonous. I'd be coward enough not to try it.

various sites comment about a lot of berries being poisonous to a certain degree.This is the only berry he can not find in any brewing book.


Nutmeg is reported to induce hallucinogenic effects.

In the Caribbean they generally spice their rum to make it more interesting.  They are rarely the same in any two rum shacks and I can personally vouch that some of them have been so good that I would travel back there just to taste it once again.

This page has some of the ideas:
