During my mash for my dubbel today I used this link to make dark candi syrup
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/20-lb-sugar-jar-yeast-nutrient-114837/
It turned out pretty good.
But after I stopped the cooking process I wound up with a solid brick of sugar and a little liquid.
I heated this up and about 10 minutes later I wound up with a layer of hot sugar between the sugar brick layer and the pot. I broke this layer with my spoon and kablam. It started spewing everywhere as the water solution in the top layer met super heated sugar from below. Scared the sh*t outta me.
Next time I will try stirring the water in slow so that the syrup does not crystalize to the pot. This crystalizing is a mess and could screw you up if you are not careful.
