D-180 candi syrup is an extra dark Belgian Candi Syrup with hints of fresh ground coffee, dark fruit, and toasted bread that are ideal for all Belgian Dark Ales.
One pound of D-180 will add an estimate SRM of 30L to 6 Gallons of wort.
I added this as a late addition (one each, in addition to one I'd put in the boil) to both a Belgian Dark Strong Ale and a Dubbel I brewed, and I could not believe the difference it made - like night from day!
An Absolutely great product. The flavors are amazing! I’ve used the D90 and 45 as well. This is a great beer adjunct.
I used this with a combo of pale and Pilsner malt to brew a beer that won the Nashville region in Dubbel in 2016 NHC and got a 41.5/50 in the second round.
We have been using this product on and off since we got into brewing. Always use if for Dark Belgian brews and whether we use it in the boil, or as a priming sugar it always works great.
With the constraint of my mash tun, I've found using this syrup is an easy way to increase my O.G., without any negative impact to flavor. Great product.
The syrup is tasty, dark and rich. The pouch it is in should be heated before using to make sure the syrup flows; otherwise you end up with lots left over inside. I have been making my own syrups lately, and am very happy doing so, but this gives a more consistent product without the risk of scorching a pan or two.
