Use just the same as you would with regular granulated.

Is that 85g for 23ltrs of brew ? :

Depends on what carbonation you want, but for an ale that should be about right.

My advice would be boil unrefined sugar for a couple of minutes then let it cool before adding it.

I think he's suggesting you boil it to sanitise it. That said, I don't bother.

I have always thought that with unrefined sugar there is a slight risk of infection more so when the packet has been open for a while and it's better to be safe than sorry.
