Hi all,
So while browsing the local Asian market for citric acid (to make my own belgian sugar), I saw packets of Swad brand "Sakar" sugar. It looks sort of like clear belgian candi sugar (the hard stuff, not the liquid). I can't find much about this stuff on the internet (other than it's sometimes called Mishari?), so can anyone tell me if it's a reasonable substitute (at $2/pound) for the clear Belgian (rock) candi sugar my LHBS sells for $9/pound? What should I expect from this? Just increased ABV, or some help with head retention, sweetness, etc?
Thanks!
