Hi All, Hapy New Year,
I will be kegging my first ale next weeekend, and l would like to know if l add brown sugar to prime my barrel, how much should l add?, Is it the same ammount as white sugar ?

Many Thanks
Chris :cheers:
 
My advice would be boil unrefined sugar for a couple of minutes then let it cool before adding it.
 
I think he's suggesting you boil it to sanitise it. That said, I don't bother.

I have always thought that with unrefined sugar there is a slight risk of infection more so when the packet has been open for a while and it's better to be safe than sorry.
