Be careful (selective) of the variety of wine yeast you try. Some are notorious at producing hydrogen sulfide. And molasses is sometimes sulfured as well. So, a word of caution. Too much H2S and you'll think someone sh_t in your fermenter.

I simply use baker's yeast for mine. Inexpensive, readily available, and quite effective at fermentation.

But, YMMV.
