Are you guys just buying stockfeed molasses?

I bought two buckets of molasses at the same time. Can't say they were definately from the same batch but seems likely.
I clarified the first one as best I could, diluted to about 110 litres and added some (4kg) sugar.
This one I did as all molasses diluted to about 90 litres but was a bit lazy with the clarifying - I didn't boil it for as long which is why I am surprised that this one is the one which now smells burnt. I just got it boiling, added some lime and kept it hot for as long as I could.
I used about 20 litres of dunder in both batches, this makes it a higher percentage in the second batch but not by much.
I assume from Yummy's comment that I am best to do my spirit run of this on it's own rather than combined with my first batch.
Cheers,
Richard
