Why the 60 minute boil? There's no hops in the recipe. Also, that's an awful lot of decimal places for your s.g. readings. What sort of device are you using to get that kind of accuracy?

aint carbed yet, but drinking it, strong and sweet like remember, my mother use to just boil the sugar and water.

Do it man! And let me know how it turns out...

[SmokeyMcB]

looks good bro.

the one I remember from being a kid seemed lighter then that though. I wonder if out around home they just used sugar? or maybe a much smaller amount of molasses. I think I may eventually give this a go by your recipe. Thanks for sharing it up bro...
