priming sugar options

[madabeer]

Hello All,
I'm certain this question has been asked before and I've found a few nuggets of wisdom on the web, but what I really would like to know is what would be my best option for my situation.
Ok first brew, first batch ever!!!, everything is looking and smelling like beer so far. I,m 6 days in and just moved to a second fermenter yesterday.
I live overseas and have limited options for priming sugar which I forgot to bring with me. I do have available
raw sugar
corn syrup
table sugar
I will have corn sugar in about 14 days.
I'm making an IPA, standard 5 gallon kit.
So if some of you wouldn't mind just sharing "what you would do"? it would be helpful.

Thanks

I almost always use corn sugar, and weigh it. I use 4 ounces by weight for 5 gallons, for most beers. If I couldn't get corn sugar, I'd use table sugar. I think you use a little less table sugar, but I'm not sure how much. There are priming sugar calculators on the internet to use, and those really help.

What about honey or brown sugar is that easy to find?

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but I would wait for the corn sugar if only to force yourself to give the beer more time in the fermenter. Three weeks is a good minimum for fermentation and conditioning. Congratulations on your first batch!

corn syrup should work. I've used it in a pinch to carb some undercarbed bottles.

Cooper's Carbonation Drops. I'm lazy, they're easy. Most of my beer goes into TaD bottles so I only bottles a few each batch.

Ive used Honey in the past when i use to bottle. It worked fine.

Thanks everyone for the quick and great replies.
I forgot about honey and brown sugar too. I live in Madagascar where there is lots of local honey and I've got brown sugar from the states as well.
If waiting is an option, I'll just keep on fermenting. I wasn't sure if that would have a negative effect.
Thanks
