Candi sugar

Candi sugar

Candi sugar is a Belgian sugar commonly used in brewing, especially in stronger, Belgian beers such as dubbel and tripel.^[1] Chemically, it is an unrefined sugar beet which was an object to Maillard reaction and caramelization. A common misconception is to consider this is the same as invert sugar while actual candi sugar is a subject of multiple complicated chemical reactions happening during Maillard process.^[2]

Also used as a priming sugar, to aid in bottle-conditioning and carbonation, with the same benefits as listed above.
