Can I use dried molasses as the nutrient in a starter?
Well...I can also get certain types of phosphates and different sources of nitrogenMolasses is basically pure processed sugar. For a healthy growth. yeast also need nitrogen, phosphate, vitamins etc. That said, I just bottled an old ale with some molasses as the priming sugar, and it is great

Yeast ProductionFrom the pure culture vessel, the grown cells are transferred to a series of progressively larger seed and semi-seed fermentors. These later stages are conducted as fed-batch fermentations. During a fed-batch fermentation, molasses, phosphoric acid, ammonia and minerals are fed to the yeast at a controlled rate.
