has anyonel used molasses

[yoyokid82005]

has anyone used molassses in brewing at all like a late malt addition to keep the flavor of it. i know it would have a rum taste to it. im just wondering if anyone has used it. would it hinder the yeast at all. i dont think it would anyway cause its all sugar and sugar byproducts. it would give it a nice different taste to it.
thanks

Yes...lots of us have...you'll find some great info here...I used Advanced search thread title for Molasses..

Also if you scroll down to the bottom of the screen you will find a box marked "similar THreads" and will find more Molasses threads.

I did even though I was told not to and should have listened. Perhaps there are other molassas out there (I used Grandma's) that may make a better tasting beer, I don't know. For me it was just one of those things I had to try. I will say they are great to have on hand should I run out of beer and the stores are closed, they still do the trick. To me the first one is the worst, then they are not so bad, I guess my tastebuds adjust.

Molasses has an unusual flavor that doesn't work well with most styles. I do wonder how it would work in a Belgian, but I don't make them.
