Because it contains a high percentage of unfermentable sugars and intense minerals, it adds rich body to the finished beer but can easily overwhelm a recipe with astringency or a metallic bitterness if overused. Brewers typically incorporate it by stirring it directly into the hot wort during the last 10 to 15 minutes of the boil; this safely sterilizes the syrup while preventing it from sinking and scorching on the bottom of the kettle.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFor a standard 5-gallon batch, the typical usage rate is between 4 to 8 oz (by weight), which provides a distinct character without dominating the base malts. For large scale commercial batches, the proportional equivalent is roughly 1.5 to 3 lbs per bbl.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Brewmaster","offers":[{"title":"1 lb.","offer_id":54109157785968,"sku":"AJ500","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 lb.","offer_id":54109157818736,"sku":"AJ500B","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7163\/8128\/files\/68458.png?v=1785885009","url":"https:\/\/morewine.com\/products\/brewmaster-blackstrap-molasses","provider":"MoreWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
