So, hypothetically, have any of you made your own rum?
Not actually, of course, because that would be illegal.

I've been scouring books, google books, books from ebay, and have yet to find a decent rum recipe.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've done a ton of homebrew beer, and was curious about the recipes for different boozes. I've also made my own syrups/liquors, kaluha, and a few others, but rum escapes me.

I've seen this thread:

but that uses already made rum. I'm looking for a recipe to distill rum.
