I want to know what the potential SG is of my candi sugar. How much would I dissolve in a gallon of water to find out?
potential yield is generally measured in PPPG (points per pound per gallon or something...) - aka the SG you would get if you dissolved one pound of it in one gallon. So if you dissolve one pound of sugar in one gallon of water, the measured SG would be (directly) your potential yield in PPPG.Ó Flannagáin said:How much would I dissolve in a gallon of water to find out?

You could use 1/4 lb in a quart and save yourself some time, effort, and sugar. The results will be the same.

If you want to learn more then read up on invert sugar.
A little extra info:
For those trying to emulate golden syrup used in some uk recipes like my OSH.
It is partial invert sugar syrup. So just use part candi and part table sugar. Simple!
