Brewmaster Belgian Candi Syrup - Brown | 1 lb
Brewmaster Belgian Candi Syrup Brown is a highly fermentable brewing syrup for Belgian-style beer, farmhouse ales, and strong specialty beers. It helps raise original gravity while keeping the finish drier and more drinkable than an all-malt gravity boost, with flavor intensity matched to the syrup color.
The Brown syrup is best used when you want building authentic dark Belgian sugar character without relying only on crystal malt or roasted grains. Add it late in the boil for easy sanitation and full dissolution, or add it during active fermentation for very high-gravity beers when you want to reduce kettle density and support yeast performance.

How to Use Belgian Candi Syrup
For most recipes, stir the syrup into the kettle during the last 10-15 minutes of the boil, making sure it dissolves completely before chilling. For strong Belgian ales, you can also add sanitized syrup during active fermentation to reduce osmotic stress and help the yeast finish cleanly.
Storage Note
Belgian candi syrup can thicken or crystallize in cold conditions. Store at room temperature when possible. If it crystallizes, warm the sealed container gently in warm water until the syrup returns to a pourable consistency.
