Hello I live SOR in perth and am looking for a ace that sells molasses in bulk, ad I can only find it in 500g jars in the supermarket.

Try stock feed places mate.

Why don't you pop into the welcome centre and tell us a bit about yourself ;-)

I have brought mine from either bio johns in Belmont 25kg for $30 and northam chaff. Unsure where they are as the missus gets it delivered with the horse feed. Recommend northam chaff thou as they fill your container. Was 30$ for 20l drum. Weighed in at about 32kg.

Hey mate
Depending on where SOR you live I was at anketell stock feed supplies on Thomas rd just off kwinana freeway and they have 2L bottles for $3.95 preservative free not sure if that's a good price but I bought a few anyway...
Hope that helps

Damn Ganooblies..Thats really expensive ...however ..2 liters is not really bulk buying . :hand:

This is Eastern aussie prices but last year I would pay $1 per liter up to 20 liters then 50c /per liter....a 200liter or more is 30c/l

And this is good stuff ....no shit in it ..high potential output...from Norco Rural stores ( now they have stopped filling used transmission oil 44s up) :angry-banghead:

yeah it's expensive here in southern WA, the same place sells you 20L for $35 but it's the best I've found in WA.

I'm just waiting for cupcake to send me a couple of 44's 1 molasses & 1 cane juice.... cant wait :handgestures-thumbupleft:

you can get Bundaberg molasses in myaree for $35 for 14kg (about 10L). it was brilliant stuff, but just super pricey. they also apparently sell 280kg x_x Bundaberg molasses for about $315, which ends up being about 190L, ~ $1.65/L so just a bit cheaper than the stock feed place. depending on how bulk you want to go :P

I'll go 5th's on 1000 litres if anyones interested, but this time it's cash up front because I dont really want 800L like I ended up with last time we did a group buy :angry-banghead:

Yeah unfortunately ANYTHING in WA is expensive compared to Eastern states prices... Not sure I'm into rum enough to stock 200l though kind of weening myself on it got my first batch of macrum on the go at the moment and can't wait to have a play of that :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheap ain't cheap if it doesn't work. The tub before last was hard to ferment and the last one was basically unfermentable full stop, reckon I'd pay 5 bucks more for something I don't have to chuck out after wasting plenty of time and money rooting about with it. The molasses here has gone from sub par to utter shit, Grass ain't always greener

if you do taste test prior to purchase you'll find a burnt taste or a nice sweet sugary sweet taste, it's not that hard to work out what to buy ;-)

It's most likely Sunshine Sugar (from either Harwood or Broadwater)

No...they just have a truck comes down from the Harwood refinery and fills up all their IBCs.....infact ..I went past yesterday and they have them all lined up waiting so guessing won't be long :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Then you just bring your containers and they fill em up

I'd be keen on 200l, but I'd have to get it in smaller containers as I'm not sure I could handle that much weight without a fork lift :teasing-tease:
