NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Molasses as an adjunct

Not sure about the molasses as an adjunct, but I could not resist asking,
since it is a Colonial Ale, if you are going to use Blue Spruce Tips?

Now that I have asked I realize that the time has passed for getting them
fresh.  Never the less, next spring could be the time.  For the first time
this year I put them in a Black Saison, and the tast was very interesting,
with the spruce way in the background.

Tom:

The flavor contribution and amount depends on the type of molasses.

If you use blackstrap, the flavor can be strong with smaller amounts of
molasses.

If you use Barbados molasses (which is arguably not molasses) the flavor
contribution is less.

I regularly use 8 oz. of Barbados in a stout and you can taste the molasses
flavor but it is 

not overpowering.
