Does Belgian Candy Sugar Go Out Of Date?

I've found some! - 500g, just right for a brew I'd like to get on, alas it has a BB date of sometime in mid 2011, I didn't think sugar went off, do you guys know different, is Belgian candy sugar different in this regard?

Oh yeah, placed in 'kit' section as I'm going to use it in a kit, I looked in ingredients section and wasn't sure where sugar would go!!

I would use it, absolutely, without a second thought. That said, I wouldn't be hunting expensive Belgian candy sugar anyway. A bag of common turbinado, raw cane sugar or golden brown cane sugar from the market will accomplish the exact same thing, I promise.

Thanks, I sensed that the might have been the case. Mixed results when you read opinions on candy sugar tbh, I've got it so I'll use it!

...I've got it so I'll use it!

Oh yeah, for sure. Cheers!

OSA; 'Best Before' dates are largely a load of bollox.

I'm presently using some rodent bait that's supposedly Three Years out of date. I never told the mice that though. So, they're obligingly dying from it.

Don't let their stupid regulations and arbitrary figures beat down your own, innate, common sense
