when priming with DME would i use one cup DME to replace one cup corn sugar?
what are the positives to using DME vs corn sugar?
and vice versa...Joe
 
DME= more stable head and slightly malty taste added
Dextrose= faster carbonation and no change in flavour

I have started using a mix of the 2, straight DME takes too long and straight corn sugar doesnt produce the desired effect , but the 2 combined is perfect!
