Dark Candi Sugar 1kg

Dark candi sugar 1 kg – colour and depth for Belgian beers

Dark candi sugar gives beer a richer flavour, deeper colour and higher alcohol content without making it too sweet. It suits classic Belgian styles such as dubbel, quadrupel and Belgian strong dark ale, where you want notes of caramel, dried fruit and lightly burnt sugar.

The candi sugar dissolves easily in hot water or directly in the boil kettle. It is highly fermentable and gives a complex, rounded beer with both colour and depth.
