    Adding candi sugar to secondary?

    Micro, I just had it and wanted to experiment. However, I tasted it and it was nothing short of spectacular, so I decided just to put it into secondary and not f with it. Lizard, I always rack to secondary and let it sit for two to three months. It produces a much clearer, smoother product.
