Normal sugar for priming.

Post by cmason561 » Mon Jan 19, 2009 4:52 pm

My first ever home brew is coming close to be kegged i think. But i'm not going to be able to make it to the HBS to buy some priming sugar. Will adding 80Grams of normal sugar be ok? Or should i get my arse to the HBS?

Normal sugar is fine and cheaper. I use it all the time.

There is no need to go to your hbs, normal sugar will be fine. I always use it myself.

I agree, normal household sugar is fine and readily available.
