Also, while we're on the molasses topic: Blackstrap molasses will work just fine. You don't need to buy the more expensive baking molasses, the stuff from the feed store will work just fine.

I've never tried it myself, but I have also heard tell of a guy getting good results using the powdered stuff you can buy on Amazon, though I don't know what the proper water to molasses ratio would be with the powdered stuff.

Word of caution: I usually try to be pretty involved in reading product reviews on Amazon before buying anything, and it seems like the way liquid molasses is shipped by their vendors is less than adequate. I'd estimate that more than 50% of the reviews I read said that the jars were either leaking or broken upon arrival, so I don't think I would order it online. The local feed store here in town sells 5 gallon buckets of Blackstrap for about $22 after tax.
