• Posted in thread: Priming sugar substitutes? on 05-12-2013 at 07:02 PM
  Use the table sugar. I use table sugar to prime all my beers and for what they charge for 5oz
  of it at homebrew shops I could buy a 2lb bag of the plain stuff at the grocery store instead.

  Are we talking beers or the actual building itself? My favorite brewery tour I've done was at

  Yeah, BYO did an article a few issues ago. For their pecan doppelbock recipe it calls for
