I did a search for this, but didn't come up with a whole lot.
I am bottling a dark/red/some-kind-of ale(?) today [7 lbs extract, crystal 60 & roasted barley steeped, Millenium & EKG hops] and just realized I don't have any priming sugar!
Has anybody primed with brown sugar before? would you recommend it?
I haven't been able to find dextrose at any of the local supermarkets, do they call it something else or do I have to go to the (not-so) LHBS if brown sugar is a bad idea?
I was going to bottle with DME this time around anyways, so maybe brown sugar wouldn't make a drastic difference? I was going to bottle at 4:00 and now I'm using my prep time screwing around on the internet!
