This book is inspired by the recent popularity of rum among cocktail circles, and by the advent of so many new rum craft distilleries in North America. Included is: the story of rum and how it is made, the ingredients, equipment, and processes used to make rum; the lubricious effects of barrel aging, and the various ways that it is done. And, a step-by-step description on how to make a 155-gallon batch of rum mash and how to distill and age it-including a recipe.Book specifications:Dimensions: 216 x 140Author: Ian SmileyCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2021Publishing Month: 4Pages: 156Language: EnglishPublisher: White Mule PressWeight: 249 g
