Personally I've tried molasses before and wasn't pleased with the results, I'd like to see if anyone has made something drinkable with it though

Blackstrap is the product left when they've removed the most sugar possible from raw sugar caneRobboMC said:I have also read somewhere to only use Blackstrap Molasses. I get mine from the sugars aisle in the supermarket,
I used it once for making firewater with a mate, turned out pretty average and we dumped the whole batchTimT said:Yes - avoid the sulfured stuff.
One of my brews last year I used molasses. Turned out to be sulfured.
All I could taste was the sulfur.
Up here there are 2 grades. Mol A is the initial stuff at around 75% sugar. Mol B, which is moreso known as blackstrap once it leaves the mill, is 50%. Blackstrap is the stuff we want, as it has a higher muck (flavor) content. The primary use is rum (from here), but excess blackstrap is diluted down and is great to spray back onto the soil as a nutrient. A lot of the solids are separated from the molasses prior to fermenting a rum wash, these solids along with the lees from the ferment are also used as a spray for farming.Vini2ton said:I read somewhere about it being used for soil health via a sprayed solution to improve biota blah blah worms microflora blah blah renewal of depleted environments and such. Isn't it pronounced mo-lassiss?
