I'm interested to know what differences there are to brewing with brown sugar or even dark sugar.

Obviously there's a taste difference, but do you need to be more careful about the amount added?

I would like to look at using a very dark sugar for flavour and sweetness.

Also something I've also wondered about brewing is a chili beer. Is it possible to mix chili peppers, sugar and hops to make a spicy style beer?

Search the forum for A T's Shitter Bitter...

I've used dark muscovado sugar in a 50/50 measure with brewing sugar in a couple of winter ales based on a Scottish Heavy can to start off with; does add a bit of richness and make for a deeper flavour... :)
