Notes
Invert sugar instructions
for 21 lbs sugar, use 3.25 Gal water.
Boil 20 mins
NOTE: USE LESS BAKING SODA AND ACID THAN DESCRIBED BELOW. I added 4 mL to a 12 gallon batch and the pH was < 3. Had to adjust up to 5 with baking soda. 5 is the ideal pH for inverting sugar.
This recipe won't need any baking soda at the end for the yeast since the pH is 5
Invert syrups that are cooked to develop color are not traditional--they are a homebrewing product. They taste good, but are different from say Ragus invert or brewers sugar.
I use Billingtons light muscovado sugar at varying percentages, with the remainder coming from cane sugar.
1 - 15% Light muscovado
2 - 30% light muscovado
3 - 60% light muscovado
Mix 1 kg sugar with 200ml distilled water. Heat to 160F, add phosphoric acid (Per kg sugar: 0.75ml 85% phosphoric or 1.5ml 88% lactic acid). Hold for 20'. Add 0.9g baking soda. Cool. You can also add 20% Dextrose to make it into a solid-ish block instead of a syrup.
Lately I've just been adding sugar directly to the kettle without inverting.
Cane sugar (inverted or not) + Molasses would be a more direct replacement too. 25g molasses (I like Wholesome Organic), 975g cane sugar for Invert #2.
