So I am coming up with a recipe right now for a Belgian Golden Strong that's basically pilsner malt and sugar/candi syrup. I am trying to figure out what an appropriate percentage of sugar would be for this brew. BJCP guidelines (I am trying to do this to style) say up to 20% sugar, but that is on the higher end I would imagine. I have no problems going that high I am just wondering what you all found that works for you? I am thinking of using a combination of Candi Syrup and sugar to keep the cost down. Curious also why folks use table sugar in these vs corn sugar? Thanks.
