If you don't mind.. what is the purpose of adding invert syrup?
This will be my first time using it. In the past I have used corn sugar and liked the results in some IPAs.If you don't mind.. what is the purpose of adding invert syrup?
Another informative thread about making invert sugar:

Next step: make up some caramel coloring like they tend to use in the UK.
Sure, but that stuff is $7 for enough (4 oz) to add 16 SRM to 5 gallons. Mine is about 8x as dark and only cost me a pound or two of sugar. I made 16 ounces and that'll last me years.Or just use Sinamar.
Also Qhrumpfh, you a Skin Sharp? Gotta to ask with the name and tag
Been stompin bones for 20 years. We'll leave it at that.
I used 2.2 lbs of sugar to 2 cups of water. I also added a 1/2 tsp of citric acid and 4 tbls of corn syrup as insurance. I cooked it for about 2 hours.
You put corn syrup in your beer? Dilly dilly[emoji23]
Its okay i use corn sugar sometimes which is essentially the same thing. Dilly dilly.Works like any other sugar. Actually better than many tbh.
I really like corn sugar in beers I have made.Works like any other sugar. Actually better than many tbh.
That looks great. Never would have thought to use honey!
It does indeed look good! You may have gotten by with only 1/2 gram of citric acid. That should be just about the amount present within a slice of lemon. A whole lemon is said to contain ~3 grams of citric acid. Two TSP is probably close to 9 grams.
