Notes

Mash all of the base & specialty malts (except the Belgian candi syrup) at 154 for 60 minutes, then sparge per standard Grainfather steps. Once sparged, move 1 to 1.5 gallons of the wort to a side-pot and add the candi syrup. Boil this side pot on maximum heat for 15 minutes, try to reduce it to half. The goal's to get the side-pot to cause some caramelization and higher-order sugar recombination,
