Brewing Sugar

Why use Brewing Sugar?

You can use lots of different sugars in the brewing process. Each one imparts its own unique characteristic to the final taste of the beer, wine, or cider. The most popular type of sugar, for several reasons:

1. Using brewing sugar, which is a powder rather than crystals, reduces the risk of scratching the fermenters.
2. It will dissolve more easily.
3. This sugar is 100% fermentable.
4. It ferments easier than household sugar.
5. Beer, wine and cider have a cleaner flavour.

What quantity do I use?

If you need 1Kg of standard sugar, you can directly substitute it with 1Kg of Brewing Sugar.

Can you use Brewing Sugar for priming?

Yes, you can use it for priming beer and cider. Ideally better suited for priming barrels, for bottles we would recommend carbonation drops.
