I want to use brown sugar to prime my 5 gallon batch of cider. I have read to use 3/4 cup just like I would with corn sugar. When baking something, the measurement of brown sugar is when it is packed into the measuring cup. Is brewing the same way? Should I use 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar on a 5 gallon batch?
I also have some splenda that I am going to put in to sweeten the cider. Seems like some people say splenda is not fermentable and some say it is. How much splenda and brown sugar should I put in?
Instead of putting it in each bottle I plan on dumping the brown sugar and splenda in the bottling bucket like I would normally do for beer.
Any help for a born again homebrewer?
