Belgin White

I am trying to mimc a Belgian White from the Allagash brewing company [url]http://www.allagash.com/beers.html[/url] and they refer to adding Candi sugar and also yeast just before bottling. Dose anyone have suggestion on the amount of Sugar and yeast to add for a 5 gal. batch? Also the recipe I am using as a guideline [url]http://www.byo.com/recipe/703.html[/url] actually calls for the candi sugar to be added in the boil and then cane sugar at priming, would it be better to follow this method? Also no mention of adding yeast before bottling. My home-brew shop recommended adding Champaign yeast during second fermentation would give the same effect?

Most Belgian recipes have anywhere from 8 to 16 oz. of candi added to the boil and some will have 8 oz. of candi for priming along with DME. They also mention to "prime the beer in the second stage with another dose of the same strain of fresh yeast 3 days before bottling." I'm sure champagne yeast will do the same. All you're really trying to do is give your tired yeast a little help finishing the beer.

Good luck,
Wild
