Re: Pumpkin Rum
Inside the pumpkin sprinkle some brewing yeast in(get it from your home
brew shop). This gives the brewing yeast (i.e. the good bugs), a head
start. Once they are started they will optimise conditions for themselves
and this reduces competition from rogue bugs and bad yeast infections.This
will reduce the number of failures, i.e. wrong bug/yeast infections. The
quicker the brewing yeast takes over the less taints and bad flavours you
will have in your final product. Store the Rum, the longer the better
(taste after 6 months, retaste after 1 year), the older it gets the
smoother it gets.
The tricky part is waiting.

Perhaps that is why she is 80? Haha. I would love to see the recipe :-)
And
yes that would be a lot of brown sugar for an AG.
