Okay, here is a silly question that can come only from an inexperienced brewer. Here goes: Can priming sugar be used as a diastatic malt? I know that if it can, it would not be ideal. Just curious.

Priming sugar doesn't contain any diastase, so it is not diastatic.

That's what I suspected. I was just being lazy trying to avoid another trip to the brew store to get some 2 or 6 row pale malt to work with my flaked rice. I'm getting rice syrup solids next time (trying for a light beer that my wife will drink)! Thanks.
