The brown version is on par with the dark version of the syrup. Very dark. Leaves a lot of flavor. Different from molasses in that this product is a boiled syrup of the finished sugar rather than a by-product of raw sugar processing. More caramel flavors than molasses. Flavor increases as light to dark. Muscovado is a type of brown sugar that is completely unrefined and possesses a much greater depth of character.
Traditionally used for all English cask beers. All store-bought corn syrup in the US is high fructose variety and not traditional of which the light variety has vanilla in it and the dark is has caramel color added. Brewers syrup is a glucose syrup that is derived from corn. Very little flavor. OldSock beat me to the punch. I'd lean towards adding whatever special ingredient you wanted after fermentation has finished, letting the yeast consume whatever sugars are in that, and then priming the same way you usually do.
Ordinary table sugar works well and is the cheapest as it comes from housekeeping! It's slightly more effective than corn sugar but not enough to worry about. Personally I don't use white sugar at all at home, just golden unrefined sugar. It would be excellent for priming beer. But bearing in mind the quantity used it won't make much if any contribution to the final beer flavour. A friend and I collaborated on a brew and when it was finished we went our seperate ways with bottling. I went with cane sugar, he opted for honey.
There was a significant difference between the 2. The stout, however, depends on lower levels of carbonation to help achieve the smoother, velvety mouthfeel. Think about how Guinness feels on your tongue, and then think of how Lagunitas IPA feels on your tongue.
They are different experiences in part because of their carbonation levels. The Belgian Sours and American Wheats at higher carbonation levels can really push some glass bottles to the edge, especially if the brewer makes a measuring mistake.
You can technically carbonate with any kind of fermentable sugar, but no matter what kind you use always measure by weight, as measuring by volume is horribly inconsistent. Corn sugar is the most common because it does not add any significant flavor contributions and it is pretty inexpensive. For 5 gallons of beer, 4 ounces again, by weight of corn sugar should yield you right at 2. Table cane sugar is a good option if you find yourself without corn sugar on bottling day, but be sure to measure it by weight, not volume, as some companies grind their sugar finer than others.
This can lead to over or under carbonation. It, too, offers little in the way of flavor additions at the volume used for priming. Malt extract is another common choice, as a lot of brewers already have this around, and like the idea of avoiding the introduction of adjuncts to any stage of their brewing process.
Also, watch for the hot break in the boil process. Honey should typically be avoided at bottling, as it is difficult to know the gravity of honey without first diluting it and taking a gravity reading, which is a royal pain.

Raw Brown Sugar For Carbonation. Truman42 Well-Known Member. I use raw brown sugar to carbonate in the bottle. Does this stuff go off at all? Ive got it stored in an ice cream container and I know you can keep sugar for a very long time in your cupboard but does it have a limited life in terms of using it for brewing? Will nasties get into it and infect my brew when I bottle? Should I be using a fresh packet of sugar each time I bottle? Sugar is pretty stable if kept in a dry environment.
