Candimic Dark-73 Candy Syrup 500g – dark Belgian candi syrup
Candimic Dark-73 is a dark candi syrup from Belgosuc, made for classic Belgian beer styles. The syrup is highly fermentable with a balanced flavour of caramel and toffee. With a colour of 225 EBC and 100% fermentable solids, it adds both alcohol and depth without making the beer sweet. It is produced in Belgium from sugar beet, a traditional raw material in Belgian brewing.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
Flavour and aroma
The syrup gives notes of toffee, caramel and dried fruit, with a round and balanced character. Compared with darker candi syrups, Dark-73 is milder and more caramel-driven. It adds complexity without dominating and suits beers where you want dark depth without a burnt character.

Frequently asked questions about Candimic Dark-73
Will candi syrup make my beer sweet?
No. The sugar is 100% fermentable, so the syrup adds alcohol, colour and flavour without making the beer sweet.
When do I add the syrup?
Candi syrup is usually added to the boil. It dissolves well there, and the boil sterilises the addition.
What if the syrup has crystallised?
Warm it gently and it will become liquid again. Store it above 10 °C where possible to prevent crystallisation.
How dark is Dark-73?
The colour is 225 EBC. It is milder and more caramel-driven than the darkest candi syrups.
