Batch carb question

[LittleBroBrews]

Could I batch carbonate with brown sugar? Would I still have the same effect or would it be poor carbonation.

It'll work fine (I think), just make sure you use a calculator that can do it with brown sugar, because I would imagine its different from table sugar, thanks to the molasses in it. I think the Northern Brewer priming calculator has it in there.

Northern brewer says to use 105 grams of brown sugar to carb my current beer. Do I prepare the priming liquid the same way I would when using corn sugar? Eg 105 grams of brown sugar 1cup of DME boiled in 2 cups of water then left to cool then added to bottling bucket prior to transferring beer?

In DME!? It's just water and your sugar. If you put DME you're adding more sugar. Some people prime with it.

You use either the DmE or the sugar, not both
