Made a 5 galion batch of molasses beer one time. Didn't have any hops at the time and it sure needed some. Might try it again now that I have some. Read that Geo. Washington used to drink it. It wouldn't have been too bad. Try and prime a batch an see. Don't think it would be bad. Going to...

Oh...That one. You're on you're own there, #2. Well...I just had a sudden streak of enlightenment. Didn't see what you two guys were trying to tell me. Duhhh... If the volume of the sugar is one size in a 12oz. bottle, it will be the same size (volume) in a 32oz. if the sugar level...

When my wife and I were on food stamps some 35 years ago, we found some of this malt in the local grocery store and decided to give it a try because we could buy it with the stamps. First couple of batches didn't come out very good because we weren't letting it age long enough. We gave some to...
