Belgian Candi Syrups
We stock genuine Belgian Candi Syrups in 5 gal pails. Larger sizes are available as special order items.
Dark:
The original caramelized sugar of traditional Belgian ales, this syrup is deep red/black in color. Its flavor is full of soft caramel, vanilla, plums and raisins. It is highly fermentable.
Dark 2:
This syrup’s flavor is a mix of burnt sugar, figs, ripe fruit, toffee and dark chocolate. It is highly fermentable.
Amber:
Made using the same process as the dark syrup, amber is lighter in color with a less intense candi syrup flavor. It is highly fermentable.
Clear:
A traditional light-colored candi syrup, it is cooked briefly to achieve high fermentability and to partially invert sugar. It will not add any color to wort.
