I accidentally brewed my priming sugar into the brew of my beer. I bought new priming sugar to use in its proper context but is my beer going to be awful?
 
It takes a bit more than 3/4 of a cup to really change the beer. How much did you dump in?
 
Your beer will be a tiny bit stronger than otherwise, but the flavor will not have changed, assuming you used approx. 3/4 cup corn sugar in a 5 gallon batch. If you dumped in a whole pound or some such, you may find it to be a little thin, but with a heck of a kick.

It will not be awful.
 
RDWHAHB everything will be fine, and if not at least you are enjoying a beer.
 
I'm 20. It's legal to buy the stuff but not to brew it?
