I've got 4 jars of this. Someone bought it for me, thinking that it was the same thing as the sorghum extract (Actually, I was talking about ordering some ingredients the other day, and my wife asked if I could use sorghum syrup from the grocery store, I told her I assume it is sorghum molasses like I already have, she said "oh, good thing I didn't buy it for you..."). I've used very small amounts of molasses to add some flavor to a brew, but I feel like I should try a batch using a whole jar or a pound of it or something.
I'm just looking for some ideas. I'm assuming it will add some color...but what can I expect for flavor? I was thinking maybe if I 'sub' a pound of it for a pound of sorghum extract in a brew? Maybe something like 6 lbs of sorghum extract, 1 lb sorghum molasses, 1 lb rice syrup for a darker beer?
Any ideas what I can expect in terms of color and flavor?
Just a note, I've seen online that sorghum molasses is a mix of sorghum syrup and molasses, while sorghum syrup, more rarely seen, is just the cooked down juice from the stems. I might give a try to using some just syrup once, but I know it won't be the same as the grain extract...
