According to one book, Clone Brews, here is an all grain Chimay Red

10lb.(4.5kg) Maris Otter 2 row pale malt (winter barley)
4 oz. (133g) Belgian aromatic malt
.5 lb. (.23kg) Belgian Cara-Munich malt
1 oz. (28g) chocolale matl
1.5 lb. (.68kg) Belgian clear candi sugar
1.5 oz. (42g) Tettnanger @ 4% AA (bittering hop)
.25 oz. ( 7g) Styrian Goldings (flavor hop)
.25 oz.( 7g) German Hallertau Hernsbrucker (flavor hop)
1 tsp. Irish moss
Mash grains for 90 min. @ 150 deg.f (65.5C)
add bittering hops and candi sugar,
boil for 90 min,
add irish moss and flavoring hops last 15 min.,
cool and pitch Wyeast 1214

OG 1.068-1.071
Yield 5 gal. (18.9L)
FG 1.012-1.015
IBU 25
SRM 18-19
7.1% ABV

This should help. I have not tried it though.

All brewers should be aware that Belgian candy sugar is NOT special sugar.
Randy Mosher and others have proven that any sucrose source such as beet
sugar or cane sugar is perfectly acceptable. All Belgian breweries now use
liquid sucrose products for their beers, not candy sugar.

If a clear or light candy sugar is shown in a recipe, the sugar you can get
from the grocery store is the way to go. If a darker sugar is called for,
then one of the darker unprocessed sugars from an 'ethnic' grocery store can
be a good resource.

In the latest issue there is a segment on Belgian beers and there are
instructions on how to make your own candi sugar. The original poster just
asked for a recipe though.

I meant in the latest issue of Brew Your Own. Some days I feel brain dead.
Either too much beer or not enough.

Good tip. Grocery store sugar is also much cheaper. ;)

This is great information. Does any one know the conversion from
Belgian Candy Sugar to Cane Sugar?

I know the conversion from Priming Sugar to Cane Sugar = 0.88889.
so .75 cups of Priming Sugar is .667 cups of Cane Sugar.

I'm pretty sure it's 1:1

I'm assuming you mean corn sugar when you say "Priming Sugar", since
lots of different things can be used as priming sugar... corn, cane, table,
etc. Also, I think you're thinking of corn syrup with regards to a .88
conversion rate. I believe corn sugar and cane sugar should be close to
1:1, but corn syrup will be different because of the water content.

Nevermind, you might be right about the conversion rate. I was thinking
weight measurements, but now see that you were talking volume. I don't
know what the volume difference is between corn vs cane sugar, so it
may very well be .88. Weight wise it should be close to 1:1.

Sorry, you'll have to work out the conversions yourself....also, after
reading BLAM, I realize that the recipe may not be authentic, but it
damn sure tastes like the real thing....

Dark Belgian candy *syrup* is now available in the states. This is the
stuff traditionally used in dark Belgian beers (and to make matters
confusing, is simply called "dark candi sugar" by the beglians).

There's lots of stuff in there that isn't sugar at all (ergo, it has a
nontrivial flavor profile).

My understanding is that the dark candi sugar rocks are the purest
byproduct of the process that makes both the rocks and the syrup (which
is why the former don't contribute a great amount of flavor).

See www.darkcandi.com for more info
