I am also in the no candi sugar camp.
my recipe is is 80 pils 20% table sugar
you won't make a great clone without the duvel yeast strain, which is WY1388
in practice I dumped all the sugar in the boil and got a very poor fermentation.
Next time I will feed the beer with at least half of the sugar when fermentation is below 1020
Now that I check my notes the fermentation profile was start at 18 degrees for 4 days and allow to rise slowly over a week to 28 degrees. I think this was too agressive and the beer was far too hot. Mybe next time I would not go over 25.
