I don't think you'll get any flavor out of tapioca

has anyone ever tried using blackstrap molasses? I don't want to do it if it's already failed. Or milk. What about milk? I've heard of fermented dairy products although I've never tried any.

Molasses is a by-product of white crystaline sugar production from sugar beets or sugar cane. Brown sugar is brown because it is un-refined and when it is refined you get white crysaline suger and molasses. Blackstrap is really from the 3rd boiling or refineing stage. It's got that bitter sweet taste. I think "beer" has been made from every fermentable known to man, including low alcohol fermented milk.

Out west, we use black strap in big 100 pound "licking blocks" as an high energy source in the winter for range cattle

I thought gluten came from wheat but if there's yeast with gluten maybe I've got to re-think things.
Hey how about OJ? I luvs me some Orangina, if it came with a kick I think that'd be stellar!

Glutens come from wheat and other cereal grains. If yeast is grown on barley or wheat media it will contain small amounts of glutens. Companies like Lallaimend's grow their brewing yeasts on potato starch base and they are gluten free. Check with the company where your yeast comes from.

I put a bit of molasses in my gluten-free wit. I don't know if it was enough to make a significant difference in taste, but I could see the difference in made in color.

I use blackstrap molasses in my brown ale, I am going to increase it to 12 oz and see what the difference is.

I thought you Kiwi's could make a certain amount of distilled spirits for you personal comsumption, so you really don't have to call it "moonshine".
