You guys should come here, we get it for about 50 cents a litre (if you buy 200 litres) from feed stores (or as we call them, produce store)
Most places want you to bring your own container and they will fill it for you.
The more you buy the cheaper it is.

Molasses and rum.

2011-08-12T08:42:24+00:00

Hi All, I’d never drank rum until I started distilling, and I’ve been missing out.
The main problem is sourcing molasses in the UK, I've tried everything from

Tate & Lyle treacle 1.14/Kg
Meridian Molasses 1.62/Kg when you can get buy1 get one half price at holland and barret.
NAF feedstock molasses 1.40/kg - expected that to be cheaper - but it does come in a handy 5L Jerry can.
or if your a sucker for punishment billingtons molasses sugar that is sitting at a whopping 1.84/kg right now.

Does anyone know of any cheaper sources than the ones above? Using combinations of the sugar above I'm making some really nice rum for not alot of money, but always looking to cut the cost of any outgoings.
