just go for normal sugar, ive tried the brew enhancer and didnt notice anything different. brew it short, maybe 19 litres instead of 23, and find something to drink for the next 4 months cos it takes a while to mature. dont worry about the eggy smell, it goes away after a while!

i suppose it could be ready quicker in the cornie. the reason i left it bottled so long was because of the eggy smell, i had a few trial bottles and had to hold my nose before taking a drink!
