Invert sugar group buy

Nice one, and once again, thx for sorting this..

Ok, so we have liftoff. Got the sugar last Friday and it's now weighed out in 1250g lots.

It's got a fudge/caramel taste and nothing like syrup or the invert sugar I made, so interesting to see how it affects the finished beer. I'm doing a Landlord clone (hopefully this weekend).

Brilliant,and your description of the taste is promising

I don't have a problem cutting but I'm only cutting a couple of hundred grams at a time for each individual brew.

To be honest, I'm surprised that breweries don't drive demand for this product so that it's packaged in smaller amounts (like 5kg). I could imagine that it's still going to be a bit of a chore to chop up the sugar in a bigger brewhouse as you're never going to just dump a 25kg block of sugar in the boil kettle

would using a warmed up knife make things a tad easier to cut it?
just a thought

I've been packaging this stuff up - just need to get it to a post office, or book a courier.

I can confirm that it's pretty easy to deal with on a brew day. I did a Landlord-inspired pale ale/bitter today and used it at 5.5% of fermentables. It darkened the colour very slightly at 5%. Even at 10% I doubt it would darken the colour very much.

Ragus say that it's around 80-85% fermentable, so I'm approaching this much like using crystal malts.

Hi all,

Ok, finally got this all ready to go. Weighing out, packaging and posting eight lots of this stuff was WAY more time consuming than I'd given it credit for; especially when all of my 'spare time' is spent with my baby boy.

I've got the courier all booked and paid-for, so hopefully you should all have your parcels by Thursday/Friday.

Oh, and you should all get email updates from the courier too so you know when the delivery is due.

Thx pal...

really appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this.

Thanks for doing this

I got an email from myhermes which I assumed was junk, would that be it?

No problem guys - good karma hopefully

My first brew with this stuff is currently on day 9 in the FV sat on a stone floor in my cellar at around 18C. Mind, the stone floor probably acts like a huge heat-sink.

Planning on taking gravity readings any day now, crash cooling for a few days then bottling.
