Substituting DME for Corn sugar

[Tag]

I am about to brew A can of Munton's Nut Brown Ale and it calls for 2 lbs. corn sugar. I have 2 lbs of Dark DME. here that I'd like to use instead. How much corn sugar would you add to this mix to bring it up to a respectable level?

This is only my second batch unless you count the one batch that I made in my Mr Beer so I'm not doing too much experimentation yet and right now I'm sticking to all extracts.

Thanks

I would just add the DME only, instead of combining DME with dextrose. It may drop slightly in alcohol content, but will have lots of body.

High Gravity notes " Requires an additional 2.2 lbs of dry malt extract." ( http://www.highgravitybrew.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=723&IDCategory=214 ) for this product so you should be fine ignoring the extra 0.2 lb

Sounds tasty!
