Using candi

[Celera]

I've just made a surprisingly successful first batch of candi sugar for a Brewferm kit this weekend, but now I'm stuck.

How do I use it? Do I boil it back down in water, like normal sugar?

Have you got any pics of it because I usually buy it from the LHBS, it looks like a bag of uncut diamonds which i normally dissolve in hot water before adding to my FV. :hat:

Ah you're into technology above my ken there! :-)

Yeah, it's basically sharp shards and nuggets of sugar. Rock solid.

So you think just remelt in water again?

 

[Good Ed]

When i use it I place it in a pan of boiling water and let it dissolve, it is not that easy to get it to dissolve though :whistle:

Which Brewferm kit are you doing? because in the notes at the end of the instructions it tells you to use an extra 5% if using Candi sugar on the kits I have done.

Syrup sounds good, but I've made some now.

I'm doing two. Diablo and Adbij. Doubling up both.
