honestly think that's too much rum but you go for it!

You could always add more at bottling!

Thinking taste test with 4x250ml of beer and rum in different quantities to find best

I’d hold back the rum until after fermentation - it’s not going to do anything in the FV except make the yeast’s job harder.

Yes, that's what I did.

I did a rum and raisin stout as the family give away beer last year. It was brilliant. Its been requested for this year. I used a kg of raisins soaked in 1.5l of rum. It went into 20l. I macerated them and added to a hop sock then soaked in the stout. The key to stout is to bottle ferment. Notforce carb it. Let it do its thing naturally.
