Getting ready to bottle and am snowed in. Just realized I have no priming sugar. Can I use just regular sugar or some other concoction?
 
I've used table sugar. You need to adjust the quantities a bit. I use the Tastybrew.com calculator.
 
Maple syrup or brown sugar would also work. Haven't tried either yet but you will have to adjust the amount. Table sugar works also but have read on this form it can throw off flavors
 
Table sugar is ok so long as it's 100% cane sugar. You can also use DME if you have some around.
 
Don't you typically have to boil table sugar for a bit longer to break it down more? Say 5-7 minutes vs 2-3 minutes for priming sugar?
