Looking for a simple Belgian Dubbel Recipe..

[jmc]

This is recipe for inverted sugar, not candi. For candi you need Maillard reaction.

The recipe that uses yeast nutrient produces something closer to candi.

The stuff I made (above) did add a hint of toffee and is easy to make but I accept it may not be identical to Belgian Candy sugar
I hadn't heard maillard reactions mentioned before when discussing candy-sugar, but after a little seatch others clearly agree with you.

Interesting but quite complicated
Candy Syrup the Right way (Hint - We've been doing it Wrong!)

Various recipes, some similar to mine, & some adding nutrient

[jmc]

You could make some Belgian-style dark candy-sugar crystals to add another flavour.
Its easy to make (see below) or you could buy some from The Malt Miller


.......

I used the above candy sugar in a Chimay Red clone a while back (Mar 2011) .
I still have a few 750ml bottles left

Can you tell me how to insert a picture please.

Regards

Louis
