Golden Caster Sugar

[mancer62]

My wife picked up a kilo of Golden Caster Sugar for 40p yesterday and I was wondering if this could be used in the next IPA I do?..Has it the same potential fermentable strength, properties as normal sugar/brewing sugar or would I need to use more or less?

Golden caster sugar is the same as table /granulated sugar, but with smaller particle size, and with a little colouring added from a sugar based source. However table sugar is not the same as brewing sugar, since w/w it is more fermentable. So 1kg of table sugar is about 1.1kg dextrose in terms of fermentablity.

It's just finely ground unrefined sugar, so you can use it in place of normal sugar.

It's no good bragging about it...
