Planning to make a BGSA this weekend...wanted a little critique for the recipe I've created. I'll be using Wyeast 1388 and making a larger start (as per Mr. Malty calculations). My plan is to mash at 149F for 75 minutes. I've read different ideas about when to add the candi sugar...what do you all thing? I've used candi sugar once in the past and just added with 15 minutes left in the boil to make sure it all dissolved.
