So, I have mostly always primed my bottles with DME until recently. A) I have been feeling a little cheap B) Iread somewhere that DME leaves more of a ring inside the neck which requires more frequent brushing.
So, I have been using corn sugar. It seems quite different to me and I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Beers primed with corn sugar seem to have bigger, more intense co2 bubbles to me. The beer primed with DME the bubbles seem "softer" and over all it is a smoother carbonation.
Is this my imagination? I used less corn sugar (about 3/4 cup) per 5 gallon batch compared to 1 1/4 cup DME. Maybe it is too much?
Thoughts?
