I was given a home brew kit for Christmas, unfortunately, my young dog thought the instructions tasted nice, and ate the lot, so, using what I had in grey matter, I decided to have a go anyway, I'd made cherry vodka many years ago using rectified spirit I'd bought in Poland, half litre of spirit made 6 litres of cherry vodka, so I had an idea, well sort of.
I heated my water and poured in the sugar, after the sugar disolved, I added in the bag of molasses, the mixture turned a very dark colour, however, I continued, I prepared the yeast, triple still turbo yeast, and added it to the mixture and bottled it, and used airlocks, and the demijohn bubbled away, and after the bubbles stopped, I syphoned off and bottled the stuff, I've left it sit for a while.
I drained some into another bottle, and put the mixture into the freezer, and we're now at April, and the mixture wont freeze, its still a fluid, I was a bit scared to taste the stuff, but my son decided to bite the bullet and tasted it, he said it tasted funny, but it had a kick like a mule, but when it went down, it was all warm, and he knew he'd had a strong belt of alcohol, but how can it be alcohol, I didn't distill the mixture, so what could I have brewed using the molasses.
If only my dog didn't like eating paper, or, as my wife put it, I'd done the sensible thing and put the instructions where the dog couldn't get them.
