Bottling a smoked scotch ale with brown sugar

pscole98 · 12-15-2009, 12:28 AM

I'm getting ready to bottle a smoked scotch ale on wednesday. I have been doing some reading here about bottling with brown sugar. I think this would be a good combo.

Anyone have any experience with brown sugar and a smoked scotch ale or just a scotch ale?????

2/3 cup for a 5 gallon batch is what I read somewhere in the 50 searches I did. Is that right. Just making sure.

Thanks Pete

I really like brown sugar to prime with,,,, but then again I make home-brew,,, not beer, but it really puts a nice taste in the finished product

2/3 cup by volume sounds fine. Here's a calculator you can use to determine the proper amount by weight:

Use the value for sucrose when using brown sugar.

I have no idea what you could possibly mean, Stagnasty. Your comment about homebrew vs beer makes zero sense.
