Help!!!
I am making another Belgian Dubbel tomorrow, I have bought two lots of genuine Belgian Candi sugar from the Malt Miller, One is labelled as "Dark" and had an EBC of 250 printed on the label. The other is "Extra Dark" but the EBC is printed as 5000. ( I have re-checked the web site and its listed as 5000 on there also.
Is this possible? What will the flavour be like for 5000 EBC. I am a bit scared to use it. Anyone any experience with Candi sugar this dark???

Re: Belgian Candi Sugar
Hi,
I also had to double check with the makers, but it really is that colour! It does not behave the same way as adding a malt that dark though so you will need to experiment. It tastes wonderful and leaves a definite dark stone fruit flavour. Great in the kitchen as well

Cheers Rob,
I feel a bit happier now.
I think a bit will be added for complexity.
