for beer no its cane sugar this will cause a cidery taste. you can use honey maple syurp( no addtives no cane sugar added) store cane sugar is not good for beer wine dont know i would think the same but could be wrong. i know for beer its a no no ........ :)

use a grain/hop bag (nylon bag) than what i do is use cheese cloth around the sphion tube this will filler most of the hops out/ let stand 1/2 hour before bottling. or an hour i have done both no problems yet. :)
