Corn Syrup vs Corn Sugar

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

Anyone use this stuff for priming? Even has vanilla for different flavor, which I'm sure won't be all that noticeable in 5 gallons. If it's ok to use, how much syrup is equivalent to corn sugar?

From what I understand, corn syrup is a very bad choice for priming. There are lots of preservatives in there (plus weird stuff like thickening agents), and most of the sugars are unfermentable.

If you don't want to bother with corn sugar, just bottle with table sugar. It works great and is vastly less expensive.
