I am out of corn sugar and the beer supply store only had Gelgian Candi Sugar. What is the conversion? I usually use 1 Cup of Corn Sugar for 5 galons of beer.

One pound of corn sugar in a gallon of water gives you a gravity of 1.037, while a pound of Belgian candi sugar has a gravity of 1.036. It's an even trade.
Put the Belgian candi sugar in at the beginning of the boil. It's takes time to disolve.

Candi sugar is an expensive alternative, but if you're using it for carbonation, just use the same quantity by weight.
If you're using it in the primary, add it until you reach your desired OG.

About the same amount. Sugar is sugar.
