General Description

A very dark, thick, syrup-like liquid, Treacle 1 molasses is a byproduct of sugar production.

Sugar production starts with boiling sugarcane juice to crystalize the sugar, which is then filtered to separate it from the juice. This leaves a thick, brown liquid which is the Molasses.

Quantity:

25L (+/- 35kg)

Recommended for up to a 125L pre-distilled wash.

Total BRIX – 80.8%

Invert Sugar – 51%

Total fermentable sugar – 65%

Sucrose – 13%

Use/Directions:

For rum we recommend using around 3 parts water for every 1 part Treacle or, put simply a 3:1 ratio of water to Treacle 1.

This will dilute the Treacle 1 down to around 12 BRIX, which could produce a high quality, medium yield fermentation of around 12%.

Neutral sugar can of course be added to this mixture to bring the sugar content up which will increase the yield, however this may negatively impact the quality of the end product.

Disclaimer:

These containers are likely to spill, thus we recommend collecting from one of the branches directly.

Storage:

Keep cap closed and store in a fridge or freezer to prevent mould growth.
