Belgian Candi Sugar

[SouthRidgeBC]

Beersmith has a recipe I'd like to try and it calls for a 12 oz addition of clear candi sugar as a mash addition. It's the first time I've used the ingredient and most recipes call for the sugar in the boil. Am I understanding it wrong?

Thanks

Yeah i usually add during the last 10-15 min of boil

Are you sure it's calling for that, that it's not a mistake? Because that's weird and messy. You put it in the boil.

If it's actual candi sugar you add it toward the end of the boil, to dissolve. If you're substituting sucrose you put it in the beginning to invert it.

Seemed strange to me too...I'll go ahead with it in the boil for the last 10-15.

Thanks
