Make Your Own Belgian-Style Candi Sugar

Belgian-style candi syrup and candi sugar plays an essential role in the rich fruity flavors of dubbels and quadrupels. Starting with sugar, producers add alkaline ingredients and cook the syrup. While delicious commercial candi sugars are available, making your own is inexpensive, requires no special equipment, and allows customization. Walking you through the process in this BYO+ video is Brew Your Own’s Technical Editor Ashton Lewis.
