Stefan. Bubbie. Baby. Does the word "RUM" mean anything to you
besides
the Royal University of Meridies? >>>
Yes, I am well aware that sugar is the prime constituent in rum as
honey is in mead. However, honey will not ferment at it's natural
density. That is why it can be used to preserve food. Sugar can also
be used to preserve food items in its solid or syrup forms. None of
this tells me though, whether the sugar syrup in cane in its natural
form is dilute enough to ferment. Ie: Can you take advantage of this
if you want it to ferment or must you take care to keep it from
fermenting, if say you were using a stick of sugarcane as a
marshaling staff or sword substitute?
