Type of Sugar

Jan 23, 2004 2 Replies

I have a newbie question...Coming from a beer brewing background I have always used corn sugar (or honey,etc) but not table sugar. I've now succesfully made wine kits (which required no added sugar) and am looking to make some different fruit wines in my 1 gallon demijohns. Is table sugar from the supermarket what all the recipes that just say "sugar" are calling for. Should I be looking for anything special when I buy it or does store brand plain sugar behave exactly the same way. Its a very basic question I know but sometimes my brew mind brings them up.



Cheers, Jason


Table sugar it is! It should work just fine. You can also use honey as the fermentable to make meads and melomels.
