Hello, I'm about to start bottling my first ever homebrew, and am brewing a Belgian style dark saison. I thought it would be fitting to prime the bottles with Belgian candy sugar, and on northern brewer's website they have a nice calculator that says how much to use. Homebrew Priming Sugar Calculator
From the calculator I'm going to try 7.7 oz for our 5 gallon batch (at around 70 degrees F). But my question is how do I add the candy sugar? Should I melt it down in a pot and essentially turn it into a syrup? If that's the case would I want to weigh the candy first, or weigh it as a syrup instead? Any clarification would be awesome
