  I strongly prefer to use turbinado sugars (evaporated cane juice) to white or brown sugar
  (processed with molasses added). Do you have any experience with this variety of sugar and how
  it affects the ...

  Your wort has a boiling point, not a boiling range. Point well taken. However, there is a
