Adding Treacle

[mattrickl06]

Well i made my IPA today,added 500g of Tate n Lyle Golden Syrup,500g Spray Malt and 500g Dextrose.8 hrs later and its going nuts lol..My sg start reading was 1056 so its working out at final sg could reach 6.8% vol...Happy days.

Which IPA was this? i have got the Brew Master one in now which had 1kg BKE and 500g light DME which got to the same SG as you. I have called mine Grim Reaper

I`ve used black treacle in darker beers and found it gave a lovely plum flavour - just go easy its strong tasting !! I am suppin a speckled hen clone with treacle added in the boil and its superb - I think that as treacle isn`t 100% fermentable that it leaves some residual sweetness that works well (correct me if i`m wrong about this)
Adds some colour and more flavour than straight sugar also - even though I brew AG I use forms of sugar in lots of my brews, sometimes to boost alcohol and sometimes for the style (belgian high ABV beers)
I make my own candi sugar for these brews which is easy just cook the sugar to the colour you want

Happy brewing :drink: :drink: :drink:
