Rum be t' true nectar o' t' gods. Don't let others fool you with their juices and other grog. They don't know what they be talkin' about!
You will not be able t' make rum only in your still, you will actually need some o' your skills in bakin' t' make it.
You will need t' make yourself sugar cane juice and various qualities o' rum in order t' make t' glorious variety that thar be in rum.
Take three sections o' sugarcane and crush them in a bowl with a dairy spoon until you get a nice juice from them. Discard t' pulp
as you will not need it.
T' get molasses, boil t' sugarcane juice in a pot until some o' t' sugar separates and you be port with sugar and molasses. You can boil t' molasses again t' get more sugar and second molasses. You can get away with one more boilin' and boil t' second
molasses t' get yet more sugar, and some black strap molasses. Blackstrap molasses be not very tasty, but it be actually reasonably high in nutrition. So keep any that you have made.
Finally we get t' t' rum. T' most basic rum be as simple as can be. Simply
ferment some black strap molasses and yeast in a cask.
T' make a light rum, simply replace t' black strap molasses with plain molasses. Dark rum be made o' second molasses. For a nice spiced rum, use molasses and spices t' your taste.
When you make these rums you will have a yeast byproduct called dunder. You can use this dunder t' make some o' t' finest rum thar be. Use pure sugarcane juice and dunder in a cask t' make a rum like you ave never tasted before.
If you need t' make your
rum last, you can make yourself grogg. Grogg be simply rotgut rum mixed with three flasks o' water. While it will not appeal t' some, it will allow your rum t' last longer.
If you want a more fulfillin' drink, mix some o' t' freetide rum with two limes two oranges and two
bits o' ice.
If you find yourself t' be a bit o' a landlubber and need a bit o' food t' go with your rum, thar be some very good rations you can make usin' black strap molasses. Take two measure o' black strap molasses, mix it with oats, deadbone barley, fish jerky, horse
jerky, shark jerky, basilisk jerky, drake jerky, and cragbeast jerky. While those in'redients may give you pause, you will be surprised at its taste.
