Thinking of using Brown Sugar

Post by Ricklust »

Brewing a British Brown Ale and thinking of priming with Brown Sugar (which I’ve never done before) anyone have advice or results using this ?
Cheers !

never used it myself.

if i was going for a hint of flavor ... might try adding a little molasses to the sugar.

I've used brown sugar in brewing, but I don't know if you'll notice the small amount for carbonation.

I also don't think you will notice any difference either. I tried it and if you want to try it to, go ahead and maybe will be what looking for. it doesn't hurt anything. Only way to know for sure is if you do it yourself.
