Description
Candimic Light-73 Candy Syrup 500 g – light Belgian candi syrup
Candimic Light-73 from Belgosuc is a light, partially inverted candi syrup made from sugar beet. It is for brewers who want high fermentability without dark colour or strong caramel notes. The sugar is 100 % fermentable, so the syrup raises the alcohol content without changing the malt profile or leaving residual sweetness.
Flavour profile
Candimic Light-73 adds mild notes of light caramel, honey and sponge cake, but is mainly neutral in flavour. Malt and hops stay in focus. It suits pale Belgian beers where you want high alcohol without extra body or sweetness.

Frequently asked questions about Candimic Light-73
Will candi syrup make the beer sweet?
No. The sugar is 100 % fermentable, so the syrup adds alcohol without making the beer sweet.
When do I add the syrup?
Candi syrup is usually added during the boil. It dissolves well there, and the boil sterilises the addition.
What is the difference between Light-73 and Dark-73?
Light-73 has a colour of 30 EBC and is almost neutral in flavour. Dark-73 has 225 EBC and adds caramel and toffee notes to dark Belgian beers such as dubbel and quadrupel.
What if the syrup has crystallised?
Warm it gently and it will become liquid again. Preferably store it above 10 °C.
