Bottling with table sugar

[kevinlassen]

Can anyone tell me how much table sugar and water to use for bottling. I don't feel like driving 30 min each way to the beer store to buy corn sugar.

Sucrose would be the table sugar

You use a bit less sucrose (table sugar) than dextrose (corn sugar). Here's the calculator I use; http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html.

And here's another basic question: by 'corn sugar' do they mean corn syrup?

 

[unionrdr]

No. Powdered dextrose.

 

[yso191]

Is there a reason to use one over the other? I have table sugar at home all the time. Why would people use powdered dextrose?

 

[unionrdr]

Dextrose ferments out completely & cleaner. I think it makes finer bubbles myself. Corn syrup can contain preservatives that aren't good for the yeast.

Thank you!

Most corn syrups also contain vanilla flavoring.
