type of sugar to use??

[der1bach]

Hi, I'm a newbie as they say!! My first Lager brew has finished the formenting stage and now im ready to bottle up. It says to use half a level tea spoon of sugar per pint of brew. What type of sugar should i use? Help.

Welcome to the forum :thumb:
Ordinary table sugar is just fine, you can experiment with other sugars as well, eg darks etc.

welcome good luck with your brew remember to leave it alone now (may a few samples in a week or 2 ) the longer the better :thumb:

welcome i've used honey in the past and depending on your tastes that can work well

Some would argue that brewing sugar (dextrose) can provide a cleaner taste in some brews compared to regular white sugar...

But either will work...

I have read somewhere that regular sugar is more likley to give you a hangover but I cant remember the reasoning behind it

 

[pittsy]

for priming the effect sugar has as far as hang overs etc are nil because of the small amounts of sugar used plus high fermentation is more of an issue for that

Completely missed the bottling part (SORRY!)
