"Brewing sugar" for IPA

[Lucky17]

Hi, all.

Brewing my third ever batch, from a Munton's IPA kit.

Instructions for the full potency IPA call for me to add 1 kg of "preferably brewing sugar" to the canned extract and water.

I assume that the corn sugar I use for priming my bottles will work OK?

Secondly, I started with a 3 lb bag of corn sugar, and used roughly 3/4 cup for each of my previous two batches. Is there an easy conversion of volume to weight that I can do, or would simply eyeballing 2/3 or 3/4 of the remaining corn sugar suffice?

Thanks in advance for the input.

Corn sugar = brewing sugar. But table sugar would make the yeast just as happy.

For a "volume to weight conversion", best just get a cheap kitchen scale. Best to work with weight anyway.

Table sugar is fine I use it on my IIPA.

seriously, get a scale.
