food-bev Candi syrup d-240

[Voodoo 6]

That is for a 5 gallon batch, The abbey brews as they are known, are high gravity brews all around. A lot of fermentables.

All the cool stuff is gone from the monks, No girls, no playing poker with midgets, no water slides. So they have mastered the art of brewing to ease the misery.

18 lbs of sugar for 5 gallons?

what was teh SG before you fermented it? and final ABV?

 

[wheebz]

where are you getting 18 pounds of sugar for 5 gallons from?

i see 2.5lbs of syrup, but not 18

Here is an example of a westy 12 clone grain bill:
 
Grist/Fermentables
----------------------------------
8.00 lbs Pilsner (2 Row) Belgian (2.0 SRM)
7.00 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) Belgian (3.0 SRM)
2.50 lbs D-180 Candi Syrup (180.0 SRM)
 
So compared to the grains/malts its lower.

oh this is malt grain...not extract.

what is typical for malt to sugar? like 40%?

 

[wheebz]

like less than 10% sugar typically
