Muscovado sugar 1 kg – unrefined cane sugar for dark beers

Muscovado sugar is a natural, unrefined cane sugar from Mauritius with a lot of flavour and a deep brown colour. The sugar contains natural molasses, which gives a characteristic taste of caramel, toffee and liquorice and a moist texture.

Muscovado works well when you want to add complexity and depth to dark beers such as porter, stout, brown ale and Belgian dubbel. The sugar dissolves easily in water or in the boil and adds colour, flavour and character without making the beer too sweet.

Frequently asked questions about muscovado sugar

When do I add muscovado to the beer?

The easiest way is to add the sugar to the boil, so it dissolves and is sterilised. You can also dissolve it in a little boiled water and add it to the fermenter.

Which beer styles suit muscovado?

Muscovado works best in dark, malty beers such as porter, stout, brown ale and Belgian dubbel, where the caramel and molasses flavours come through.

Will muscovado make the beer sweeter?

Most of the sugar ferments out and becomes alcohol. What remains is flavour and colour from the molasses, not a noticeable sweetness.
