Notes

Add 1 pound of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 1/4 tsp DAP. Bring this to a boil over medium heat until it hits the 290degF where I slowly stir in 3/4 cup of water, then dump it directly into the wort with 15 minutes left in the boil.
Candy sugar addition.

1.25 lbs sugar, 3/4 water, 1 1/2 tsp DAP for 1.25 candy sugar addition.
