Does 1 lb of brown sugar equal the amount of fermentable sugars in one pound of dried malt extract? What about 1 pound of rice syrup solids?
1 lb brown sugar=1 lb DME?

I believe the brown sugar has more.
One of the online charts states that you can use 2/3 cups brown sugar for priming ,but you need 1 1/4 cups of D.M.E.
The S.G. is the same .

They're pretty close to one another, right at 9 points per pound each. (Actually, brown sugar is ever so slightly more fermentable, but it's a difference of 1 point per five gallons).
