Candi sugar

[Wheels]

I've a Brewferm ready to do ( Ambiorix ) and it will be my 4th kit and i'm trying to be clever by making candi sugar. I followed Luckyeddie's instructions but i think i may have rushed it.
He said keep the temp between 125 and 135 C. I let it go upto 160 C .
The colour of the syrup turned out great and it smells fine but it did change colour very quickley.
QUESTION>>>>> Have i burnt the sugar>>>>> Should i start again>>>>>>
Don't want to ruin a good brew for the sake of a bag of sugar.
Thanks.

P.S. It is Luckyeddie's fault. The instructions told me to have a pint or two while it is boiling. The problem was i started this at 8:30 this morning.

if it doesn't taste or smell burnt or too caramelly (new word, I like it!) then I'd say it's ok to use :thumb:

My wife has just come in and she said it smells OK very caramelly.

I think i'm going to do it again just in case.
Thanks.

New batch of candi sugar made today and it turned out fine. Use it next week in a Brewferm (Ambiorix).
