You are over thinking it , the amount you will be buying you probably won't have clue if its Cane or sugar beet molasses , not really sure what vitamins you would expect to be in a 3rd boiled molasses , as all will have been destroyed by the heat, if there were any in the first place as the syrup is boiled in the sugar manufacturing process, No vitamins will have been added.
Just buy what you can find.

Hi looking into this as there are a few different types or grades of molasses can anyone recommend one that might be best please

A fifty fifty mix of active csl and molasses makes for a very active dip!
Also dabbled with pomegranate molasses which the carp rather like

Beet molasses is high in betaine but no where near as sweet as cane molasses and comes with a high non-sugars concentration, i would not used it and make about 40kt of it a year, you want to use cane molasses as the sucrose content is much higher and also VFA's are lower

The runnier types have soya oil blended in them to make them suitable for spraying

Many different grades of Molasses from a number of countries, I always tried to source the one with a high solid content and the most betaine.
Bream can be a problem on most baits, more so when you get out from the margins where they seem more comfortable.
Squid Brand fish sauce is another cheap option.

Quite a while ago i fished one water and the bream were a proper nightmare. I used mainline’s essential opal, 30ml plus of molasses per egg!, sweet nutraspice, spice cajouser, couple of additional sweeteners and a bit more and rolled it into what I called “mega nuggets” 30 x 20mm barrels, smelt divine lol, get on the carp and they were in the net

I’ve been lucky enough to fish a few larger virtually unfished waters near me a few years ago now and it’s was my go to method, 50 - 60 balls of Vitalin loaded with molasses, sweet corn and hemp, few KG of 20mms over the top, I have caught carp within a matter of hours of introducing it, once on the boilie which I have found them to be pretty instant if the are un-pressured fish, I just used to ease back on the Vitalin and just use boilie
Fishing it out at range where the bream live and you will get what you get. All depends on the bream stocks but it is a fact, they do like sweet things, and fish things and everything

Definitely one to try on a water without them or with very few in then 🤣🤣

I agree, bream love the stuff, made the mistake once of using it along with proper Bunspice liquid that bakers use, sugar syrup based on Enervite Gold. Smelt and tasted heavenly, and a weekend full of snotty nets ensured I never used it again.

Mixed with warm water for me too, soaks into stuff brilliant, Vitalin being perfect

Yep, I've made the rodent mistake before, cost me not only the bait tub they got in to, but my bed chair, chair and rod bag too....
Thanks all, hugely appreciated. Start with new waters in April so I'm sure I will be on here with some feedback 🤣
