I would imagine so, since when it comes to priming sugar, basically anything highly fermentable will do. Hence my advice is table sugar, because it is the cheapest and it makes no difference anyway.

Yes or maple syrup, golden syrup, treacle, demerara sugar, Lowicz syrup. Anything that's fermentable and fully dissolves in beer will do**. :thumb:

be wary of demerara and treacle or dark sticky sugars with a molasses content. these can impart a distinct licorice flavour even with priming doses which normally have very little or zero flavour impact due to the small volume when compared to the kilos of sugars that were exhausted during primary.
