Default Options For Incremental Feeding?

Aside from a concentrated wort, what are some other options for incremental feeding?

I've heard of maple syrup and molasses being options being used.

Can demerrera or other brown sugars also be used?

What style are you trying to make? As far as incremental feedings go the final outcome is what matters. You could use molasses, but in my experience your final beer is going to taste like ginger bread cookies. Not a bad thing for a holiday ale, but probably not great for a Belgian Strong Golden.

Many people use table sugar or corn sugar for additions in the fermenter.

The only thing you can hold back out of that recipe is the 1.5lb Dark Belgian Candi Syrup. Just add that to the fermenter when the initial action slows.

Realistically, you'll need a starter and that yeast can handle the OG without a problem.
