Notes

Dubbel/Farmhouse hybrid

https://embracethefunk.com/2020/04/28/inspiring-recipes-part-1/

Do this during the boil…before you’ve had any beer to drink.
Place 2lb table sugar in a dry pot, preferably on an outside burner as it will smoke…A LOT!
Crank heat up to high and walk away. Do not add water. After about 5 minutes the sugar will smoke and liquify at the bottom. Stir carefully as it will reach temps of 400-450F during the process.
Continue high heat until all the sugar is melted and small bubbles are forming at the top but not a rolling boil. You can very easily reach the point of no return and it will completely empty the pot onto the ground like a volcano.
It should look like your favorite American Imperial Stout at this point. Very dark with very fine bubbles on top.
Turn off heat and VERY CAREFULLY adding two cups cold water at a time, stirring between each addition until you’ve added a total 6 cups.
Wear heavy gloves and an apron as it will spit and sputter 400F molten sugar at you but the end product will be worth the effort.
What you’ve made is “Spanish Liquor”. Burnt sugar syrup and it’s glorious!
“Dark Candi Sugar” just won’t cut it, plus this is far less expensive.
Add the Spanish Liquor to the boil along with any remaining solids as they will dissolve.
