You can also use a different sugar. Search some of the other threads. If you are brave you can use Honey, Molasses, Maple Syrup and even plain sugar. I am not expert at this, but there are a lot of posts and online articles about this. Good luck.
Yeah it's really bad when you mix up your sugar and boil it, then proceed to bottle without putting it in the bottling bucket. I realized i did this after capping 12.
