Molasses..£8 for 5 Lts

[Icefever]

We're always after a good price when it comes to buying sugar, I want to have a go at a molasses wash for a Bacardi clone...so I banged molasses in uncle Gargle and he came up with This.. 5 lts for £8..now it does not state "animal use only", and the ingredients says "Sugar cane molasses." so am I missing something??? or is there another reason to stop us using it??

Neigh....- should be OK, I use horse feed molasses all the time.

But I promise you it will taste nothing like Bacardi, you are setting your sights far too low.

Check out Captain C's threads on rum, I have had the privilege of tasting his and when I did I thought an angel has peed on my tongue. (that apparently is a Dutch compliment and not a fetish of mine).

Rum John is also a fountain of knowledge, havn't tasted his yet.

same website ... says 40% sugar...

the other one says LOW SUGAR in its description....

says Quote:

NAF Molasses is a relatively low-sugar, easy pour blend that can be easily added to feed to enhance palability. NAF Molasses also act as a natural dust suppressant in feed.

NAF do a few different formulas, the "low sugar blend" is best avoided as its only 17% sugar, and the same price. You will need to add additional sugar which makes the whole thing rather pricey. Its also got added veg oil which forms an oily scum on the wash, and "can" be bitter when distilled.

Their standard formula is nearly 70% sugar, and works out about 1KG of sugar per litre, so makes it quite easy to work out how much to add. You can pick the 25L jerry cans up for about £26.

By golly,it is interesting to learn of some of the products that "older hands" have tried!

OK guys so we can use it...but stick with the higher sugar %...that does make sense. Thought I'd check it out...didn't know if this molasses may have additives for the animals.

[Icefever]

I can find the 40% Lincoln molasses, but I can't find any at 70% sugar....anyone have a link to where I can buy it??

Feedstock molasses is OK check for animal additives as stated above the American sites use it all the time

What happens to the horses' teeth?

The way I feel at the moment, that Kof Eze looks tempting.

This is an old thread, they no longer do this molasses in +70% sugar, its a lower 44.3% mix these days.
