Hey guys and gals,
In a couple weeks i'll be bottling myGingerbread Ale. I have corn sugar, but wanted to throw in some molasses for extra flavor. i came across a recipe online that suggested using molasses for 1/2 of the priming solution.
usually my kits call for 3/4 cup corn sugar dissolved in water...if i were to follow the online recipe suggestion, that would be 3/8 cup corn sugar and 3/8 cups molasses.
since im new to this, i dont know if this type of mathematical approach is correct. can i skip the corn sugar altogether? will molasses affect the head? thanks in advance for any advice or words of wisdom.
