Candy sugar (or candi sugar) is formed when high-concentration sugar solutions have been cooled allowing the sugars to crystallize. Candy sugar is primarily used in brewing as an adjunct fermentable sugar and is most commonly used in certain Belgian-style ales. It is often used in high-gravity beers when more alcohol is desired white still retaining a light character. The dark candi sugar yields an amber color with a more caramelized flavor.
