I bumped up the additions brewinhard. I had 1/2# of blonde and I boiled that down and just pitched it. I may try a 1# addition since the last 2 bs are liguid candi sugar. Should I dilute it a with a little bit of sugar and boil it or should I just sanitize the scissors and outside of the pack and pour it directly in?

Ummmmmm... good question about the liquid candi sugar. If the package is sterile, then you might be able to pour it right in, but I am not sure. If you treat it like LME, then I would probably heat it up a bit to sanitize before pitching it into your brew. Maybe someone with some insight to the liquid sugar additions will chime in as I have always just added the candi syrup to the boil.
