alternative to D-45 candi?

[odie]

I'm about to do a Belgian tripel and I see the recipe I was going to use lists D-45. Which I don't have on hand. I'm thinking maybe light brown sugar as a substitute?

It's also getting honey on the back end so not too worried about alternative ingredients.

I would just use white table sugar. Brown is too much flavor for a tripel in my opinion. Granted I have never made a tripel with it but I have a bitter and I didn't like it.

I would not use (light) brown sugar, the molasses it contains (hence the color) doesn't belong in a Tripel.

You could make your own (light) sugar syrup on the stove, takes about an hour.
You could double that batch for the same time investment, so you can save half out for next time. Store the leftover syrup in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid, such as a jam/jelly or canning jar. Keep refrigerated. Use within 3-6 months.

Or as @Pennine suggests, just add white table sugar.
