Boom Boom Brown Experement

What we did today is:

4 Gallons of Water
10 pounds of brown sugar
1 bottle of molasses
1/2 a bag of turbo yeast.

Boiled 2 gallons of water and added all 10 pounds of brown sugar. Once all sugar is dissolved, add to a 5 gallon carboy or your chosen fermentation vessel followed by the rest of the water to fill carboy. Bloom half bag of yeast in a few cups of warm water and add to carboy. Place fruit tap on carboy and set in a dark corner until fermentation is complete. (estimated time 1-2 weeks)

This is the first time using brown sugar OR well water. I am hoping to develop a rum-like flavor.

Boom Boom

What is boom boom? It is nothing more than Sugar, Water, and Yeast creating alcohol. What we did today is:

4 Gallons of Water
10 pounds of sugar
1/2 a bag of turbo yeast.

Boiled 2 gallons of water and added all 10 pounds of white sugar. Once all sugar is dissolved, add to a 5 gallon carboy or your chosen fermentation vessel followed by the rest of the water to fill carboy. Bloom half bag of yeast in a few cups of warm water and add to carboy. Place fruit tap on carboy and set in a dark corner until fermentation is complete. (estimated time 1-2 weeks)

We have made this before, but this time the only x factor is the water. Normally we use city water, but this time we have used the well water at our new house. Will it effect the boom boom's taste negatively? I guess we will all know in a couple of weeks.
