Using demerara sugar in belgian pils any opinions?

[yaaybeer]

Hi everyone I was just about to start my 3 rd ever brew, a Belgian pils. Could any of u nice people in here advise me on sugar use in the brew. I was thinking exclusively Demerara sugar. It's a 1.5 kg kit making 12 litres and an OG of 1.053.

For a light colored or golden Belgian I would just use table sugar. It will dry it out without imparting any flavor.

Demerara sugar,or raw cane sugar will impart some light brown sugar laced with honey flavor to the beer. But it also adds to the color,depending on how much is used. Not sure I'd use it in a pils,which should be light colored & flavored.

Thanks for the good replies. So any objections to just plain old white table sugar

And any ideas on what to prime with?

Dextrose would be better for a pils imo. Keep it light flacvored.
