priming sugar substitutes

[AN_TKE]

I frigged up and forgot to get priming sugar on my last trip to the homebrew shop. Have a cranberry rye ready to bottle in preparation for the holidays. Any ideas? Maple syrup? Honey? I am bottling 2 half gallon growlers and kegging the rest. If you have a suggestion, please note your dosage rate too.

Thanks!

Cane (or beet) sugar will work just fine.

I use table sugar every time and it works great.

Table sugar's fine because of its small amount. I've also used honey with great success (though you have to use something like 15-20 percent more by weight).

I went with an oz. of mollasses for both half gallons. I figure the cranberry (remember this is a cranberry rye) will go well with any lingering mollasses flavors.

two good links above - thanks again guys.
