I would remove some hot wort, mix in the molasses, then dump it in for the last couple of minutes, just to make sure it gets mixed in well.

I added honey to the primary of a Stout a little while ago and thought I would do the same with the molasses in the Pumpkin Ale.Dave

I think a whole pound might be a bit much.Really? I've never gotten much, if any, flavor from it. Maybe I just didn't use the right stuff.Molasses? Or brown sugar? I'm confused by our back and forth...4 oz of molasses is not overpowering, but you can definitely taste it. I'm not using blackstrap, but it's there. I used to use 8 oz in my stout, but that was more flavor than I wanted.As to brown sugar, I can't say for sure that it will give rum flavors but that was always my understanding. I've never done a beer with just brown sugar to see, though.
