Lost our priming sugar, I was told you can use regular sugar! Please fill me in! Thx

 

So the question is, Can you use regular table sugar.

Yes

2/3 cup for 5 gallon.

Some may say you have to weigh it.

 

You have a few different options, Try searching for priming calculators and ingredients.

 

I've never used priming sugar. Always DME.

 

Interresting.

Will the DME at priming change something (taste).

I read somewhere that it was not recommanded to use DME.

 

I would fire him.

 

You may have to slightly change the amount used, but yes, sucrose works just fine. I'd recommend using a calculator anyway. Most allow you to select either sucrose or dextrose. DME works, but you have to have a good idea as to how fermentable it is, and calculate from there. Most product spec sheets tell you how fermentable an extract is.

 

I always use Table Sugar, never DME [anymore].... And I'm a picky bitch too.
