Sugar favors imparted

[impatient one]

Will different sugars impart flavors for bottling?

Some kinds can impart flavor, but in the amounts used for priming, it will be subtle. I've used unrefined sugars like muscovado and jaggery for priming. It was noticeable to me, but not overly so.

If you don't want added flavor, use dextrose (corn sugar), or table sugar.

I use maple syrup for bottling my RIS's, I like to think it makes a difference but without a side by who knows.

Generally any white or natural sugar is going to be neutral when fermented out. Of course brown sugar has molasses in it so it will taste like SOMETHING, but at small quantities it would depend on how flavorful the beverage already is whether you'd notice.

I used white sugar in my ris. But I was just curious as to how much flavor is imparted in certain beers. Brown sugar, honey...etc.
