Doesn't list any sulpher and ferments out quite nice. Makes a good tasting white rum that I enjoy. I usually color with carmelized sugar and let it sit with a little coconut and raisin. Filter and enjoy on ice.LWTCS wrote:Got any sulpher in it?

Re: Price on Molasses
Tater that is a really good deal on molasses.
I am going to talk to the mill here at the house and see if they will cut me a break if I buy 20 to 30 gallons at a time.
I am buying my corn, rye, and oats in bulk from him so we'll see.
I figured I could make my own sweetfeed cheaper after milling it myself.
Also make more rum with the extra molasses.

Re: Price on Molasses
The fella at the produce store told me the price is going to go through the roof on their next shipment. I am thinking about getting 200 ltrs again to try and beat the price rise.

Re: Price on Molasses
Guys,
I've been using fancy grade in my rum, paying about $11.96/gal. I'm just curious, what's everyone paying for fancy grade molasses in their area?

Re: Price on Molasses
I priced molasses at the local feed store this week since Rum is next in the education.
$9.99 for 2.5 gallon bucket, cheaper/gallon if I wanted to buy 50 gallons at a time

Re: Price on Molasses
Just looking at a pail of molasses that I have. It's made by Masterfeeds (Edmonton, Alberta), sugarcan molasses, total sugar as invert - min. 40%, 20 Kg. net weight. Not bad at $20 a pail and the pail makes a nice little fermenter for small batches.

Re: Price on Molasses
I usually pay around a dollar a litre. A bit less if I take my own bucket.
Simple potstiller. Slow, single run.
(50 litre, propane heated pot still. Coil in bucket condenser - No thermometer, No carbon)

Re: Price on Molasses
Evolved Habits Molasses is $7.99/gallon from any Tractor Supply Company and is 82 Brix or better. Pretty potent stuff. It does have a small amount of Propionic Acid in it, but that's easy to rectify by adding in all your molasses and water, then bring it to a boil with a touch of epsom salt. Cool back down and add your other sugars or what have ya. Done and done. That said, my local feed store sells it for $4.95/gallon.
Those with mills close by can obviously get it cheaper, but there's certainly no reason anybody should be paying $10+/gallon.

Re: Price on Molasses
Bring your own bucket and it's $2/gallon by me.
They had dirty buckets from under the propane tank, I was all No thanks, I'll get some clean buckets and come back. I have a couple 5-gallon buckets with lids that will do the job nicely. I figure a couple of five gallon buckets should get me through a little Pugirum.

Price of molasses went through the roof when the feed industry started wanting it.
