Strength without heaviness. White candi sugar ferments into extra alcohol and brings the sweetness typical of Belgian strong ales, while the body stays as light as your malt bill made it.

What it does in your beer
Two jobs: more fermentable sugar, and therefore more alcohol, plus the sweetness and characteristic flavour that Belgian strong and speciality styles are known for.
What it doesn't do is build body — that still comes from your malts and your mash. Which is exactly why it suits a Belgian tripel or golden strong ale, where the style guidelines pair Pilsner malt with pale or substantial sugar adjuncts.

How to use
- Count it as part of your fermentables: it raises the fermentable sugar and with it the alcohol.
- Reach for it when you want strength and a Belgian sweetness but no extra body.
- Keep your malt bill in charge of body and mouthfeel — the sugar won't add any.
