candi sugar added to sake?

[fredthecat]

anyone thought of or added dark candi sugar to sake?

im making rice wine using about 85% white polished rice, 14.5% black rice and 0.5% black malt. liquid colour so far is dark purple. i considered adding dark candi sugar for flavours

i think someone else posted about making a rice wine with roasted barely added into it. we as homebrewers could easily revolutionize extremely stagnant imho east asian rice beverage concepts. due to old fashioned grades/classes of sake and say korean cheongju/makkeoli there is a tendency to just say "oh that isnt X" "you cant add X to it".

im curious as to what crystal malts added to rice wine would result in.

I am extremely curious as to how this would turn out.

I'm doing a big batch from the rice wine mega-thread now. I may pull some off when it's close to done, throw some candi sugar in with that and see what the yeast do with it.
