Has anyone used molasses in their brews before?
I'm going to be brewing up some Scottish 80/- in a day or two and was entertaining the idea of throwing some in my boil. Any suggestions on how much to use?
Tentative recipe:
6 lbs Light DME
1 lbs Belgium CaraMunich (steeped)
1/2 lbs Mollases (treacle) - unsulfured
3.75 AAU Columbus (whole) ~60 mins
4.5 AAU Fuggles (whole) ~20 mins
4.5 AAU Fuggles (whole) ~10 mins
1084 Wyeast Irish Ale yeast (2ng gen)
(Please note that the Scottish 80/- style designation is just a loose guideline)
Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.
edit: Updated recipe. Found out molasses goes by other names, most notably "Treacle", which I believe is what it is called by overseas - can a brother on the other side of the pond confirm this?
