I'm looking at a couple of strong scotch ale recipes that call for inverted sugar (actually Lyle's golden syrup) - found out this stuff is ridiculously expensive. Talked to an experienced home brewer who said regular table sugar can be substituted for inverted sugar - does this sound right? I'd appreciate opinions.
I heard that inverted sugar might actually be easy to make - cane sugar, water, citric acid in a pot, simmered for 20 minutes - has anyone out there tried this or at least care to comment?
