Candi sugar

Candi sugar is a specialized sugar product used in brewing and homebrewing to add sweetness, flavor, and color to beer, especially in styles like Belgian ales and stouts. It is made by boiling sugar until it forms a thick syrup, which is then dried into crystals or blocks. These sugars are often caramelized during production, giving them rich, caramel-like flavors and various colors from light to dark. Candi sugar dissolves easily into the wort, boosting alcohol content without diluting the beer’s body, and contributes distinct aromatic qualities without adding residual sweetness.
