Brewing with different sugars

[silkyuk9]

Im going to start a Tom Caxton's best bitter, i was thinking about trying to get a slightly different taste to the other bitters i have brewed.

What i am thinknig about is using demerera sugar instead of white sugar.

what is your opinion on using other sugars rather than regular white sugar.

Demerara is good in beers but i'd make up the bulk with spray malt rather than any sugar.

i use that malt stuff rather than a whole bag of 1kg of sugar, i use the spray and about 1/2 kg of sugar

Yeah, be careful using any other "sugar" other than spraymalt.

Saying that, I did a bitter (see sig) using a mix of sugars and it tastes pretty good although I'm going to add hops to it as it's too sweet for my tastes.
