Oh man I think I messed up, I am so used to getting the pre packaged bags of priming sugar in my extract kits, when I bottled my first AG batch I assumed that corn sugar and powdered sugar were the same. But powdered sugar has starch in it. Is my beer ruined. Darn it! :(
 
If anything, you'll have a nice starch haze. Hope it was either a wheat beer or something dark.
 
It was Ed Worts Haus Pale Ale, I don't mind a haze, just don't want it to taste bad.
 
I tried my powdered sugar carbonated beer, it may be a little green since it has only been a week, but There is good carbonation. I'm no professional taster but it tastes like beer, it has a dry finish, perhaps due to the starch in the sugar. I'll wait two more weeks and see. Maybe it is a dryer brew, heck I don't know. Still kinda upset since it was my first AG, wanted it to turn out awesome.

I have a Fat Tire clone (from Midwest) in my primary, I have corn sugar this time.
