KingBrian,
I'm thinking about making this recipe and have read the candi syrup thread, but I don't DAP, I have Wyeat Yeast Nutrient http://www.wyeastlab.com/hb_productdetail.cfm?ProductID=15. Do you think that would work? Also, how long have you kept that candi syrup in a container before you've used it?
Yeast nutrient won't work, you need DAP. Yeast nutrient has a lot of yeast and stuff in it that would probably burn and turn the syrup weird. DAP is cheap though so just put it in your next order. I've kept the syrup for up to a week before using, but sometimes I make extra to use on ice cream or whatever and it keeps indefinitely. I know some people get crystalization, but mine always stays a syrup and doesn't go bad. The sugar content is so high that no baddies can grow in it. And for this recipe, it gets boiled anyway, so there wouldn't be a problem even if it did have some spores or something in it.
