Pomegranate molasses / Priming

Post by Kp2 » Thu Apr 09, 2015 9:05 am

Didn't really know where to put this forum wise. Has anyone out there used pomegranate molasses as a priming sugar?

I am thinking about using in a 50:50 pale lager using Kolsch yeast, Challenger bitter and experimental hop cf114. Any thoughts?

I tend to use this when making salad dressing (olive oil, pomegranate molasses, white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and pepper and a tiny sprinkle of chili flakes). It is unbelievably sour. It's also very, very dark because of it's concentration. I feel fairly certain it would add something to the final flavour of the beer. You'd probably get a reddish tinge too. I would simply experiment with one bottle first to see how much you need and above all as to whether you are happy with the results.

Thanks for the info Fuggled mind. I guess it will more bitter and sour once fermented out as well. I give it a go and see what happens.
