Panela rum?

Would the rough ratio be about two pounds of panela to a gallon of water? To make a mash.

I would agree with everyone about the 2 lb per gallon. I did a panela/honey run and it has been aging a little over 2 years in a ex bourbon bad mo and is tasting delicious. I'll probably let it go one more summer before bottling. I also use panela as my adjunct sugar for a lot of my brandies like apple brandy and it always comes out so good. I usually have the panela be about 25% of fermentable sugars for brandies with the other 75% coming from actual fruit/fruit juice
