D-240 Candi Syrup is supposed to be available to home brewers in the fall.  If you've ever made a Belgian Quad you've probably used the D-180 or the D2.

Does anyone have an in at a brewery that uses this new "darker" flavor and perhaps could share what beers use it and their thoughts on it?

Also, any ideas as to what/how you would like to try and use this in your homebrewing?

Yep.  Can't wait to get a hold of that stuff.

Yup. Remember that Brewing TV episode where Dawson does a pilsner/D180 brew? That's my plan for D240.

I'm thinking the same. Maybe 1/2 Belgian pils, 1/2 Belgian pale ale malt, 15-20% D240, 1.100 OG. Can't wait.

I used 8 ozs of D-180 in a Scottish Ale and it totally took over the beer...I expect D-240 will be a D-240 beer...could be good though...use carefully

I hear you. Since I wouldn't be using Special B or other dark crystals, I'd pretty much be counting on the D240 for most all of that quad character. I don't doubt it's pretty potent, I know D180 definitely is.

Looks great. I see quite a few dubbels and quads being brewed when that stuff is available. Yeah, may end up being a Belgian swap !

I have a 50 lb. jug of D240 sitting in my garage.  Hope to have time to brew with it in the next couple weeks.
