Hi here is the feed shop that I got my molasses from.

Blackstrap mollasses in 2l or 20l, stuff is already fermenting so guessing it aint got preservitives

they also got kibbled maize (cracked corn to the seppos) I havent tried this stuff yet as I bought in bulk elsewhere a while ago

Shop address Unit1/570 Swanson Road, Swanson. Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm Saturday 9am to 1pm

Found another good place tonight- Arkh Spices and indian grocery corner Brick St and Swanson Road beside the Gas Station
-A1 white sugar 25kgs $34.95 :o
and fresh bulk spices for your gin and Ouzo, theres star anise, cardomin pods(black , greeen and seeds) cinomin everything and really really cheap

Cheers kiwikeg!

I'm in Wellington and without a car so sourcing ingredients cheaply is a bit of a bitch.

Molasses I have been getting from Fertile Fields but with freight it comes to about $4.40l while your supplier works out to be $2.80l delivered :)
They have a recommendation rewards thing so if you let me know your details I will pass that on when I purchase ;)

In Wellington you can get 25kg kibbled maize delivered for $30 which is fine.

Great find on the white sugar - I am going to have to scout around down here a bit more... $16 for 50L TPW.. thats about $1.50 per litre @40%ABV :dance:

Would love to hear of anyone else in Wellington region with supplier info ;)

Shit - just realized freight limit is 25kg and mollases is about 1.4kg to 1L .... darn it, wonder if I can get away with it...

Yeah forgot to mention the indian grocers also have caterers size tins of leggos tomato paste for $5.95 (I guess I could freeze it) and 500gm bricks of yeast for $3.99 :happy-partydance:

Just wondering how the Rum from the feed molasses turned out? thinking about heading out there to buy 20L this weekend. Also has anyone found somewhere to buy licorice root? I am having a hard time finding it! :angry-banghead:

The rum was bloody awesome i went a few generations on it really good i ended up with 2 x 5l demijohns of the good stuff one oaked & one white and just dip into the when i need some, the molassses rum definatly inproves with a bit of aging.
I havent found licorace root anywhere but i usally scope out flakely new age crystal and candle type places for juniper berrries and oddball herbs as those crazy wiccan types use a lot of that types of stuff - the Health food store next to binn inn in warkworth can track you down most herbs and roots if you ask politely.
