Go to any feed or grain store, places that sell stock feed for horses, chooks, cows. should cost you about $1 a L if you buy 20L or more at a time.

+1 for that.
I had no trouble finding it at the local stock feed trader. I know a cattle farmer / lucerne grower who has a thousand gallon bulk tank of the stuff that he uses himself and sells some off in 44 gallon drums. Unfortunately for you, it is much closer to Sydney than Rocky. It comes from Bundeberg though so you should be able to get it up there without too much bother.

a local animal produce store in Sydney has a 15 litre bucket for $150

you have started me thinking

a batch of white rum in the pipeline

The 25kg drum sounds about right, but the other one.
Mate $10 a litre is a bit extreme. Only $2.00 - $3.00 is more the right price point. Tell him he's jokin".

Rockhampton is a huge cattle area, they feed mollasses to the cattle. If you know any cattle people they will get it for you for 40c or less (probably around 30c a kg). As mentioned produce stores will also have it.

thanks guys the only problem is with the stock feed places it wont be for human consumption will it ? it will only be for cattle im guessing?

[Dnderhead]

" it will only be for cattle im guessing?"
It will work,just one just one side affect ,,,everyone that drinks your product will start mooing!!!

[Beam]

hahah i think if that was to happen, everyone would be asking question haha and i got some from the local stock feed place down the road i got 5l for $5.60 i think i did pretty good

[johnhopper1957]

If you buy it in larger Qty it should be half that price

Its going to go through a still at high temp, in high abv alcohol vapor, not sure that there will be to many bugs or critters left alive in it after that....so they shouldn't hurt you.
99% of the people I know in Au who distill Rum use stockfeed mollasses, aint hear any of them mooing yet.
I think Ill Moooooooooooooove on from this thread now.
