Evening!

Next weekend I'm brewing a pale ale, 19L. The guide they gave says "Bulk priming sugar: 87g".

Which sugar should I use? Dextrose? I only say dextrose as it was the top result when I briefly researched haha. It then says "OR sugar per 500ml bottle: 2g"

What sugar do you guys reckon I should get for it? Currently I've got some priming tablets from my first brew which I don't really know whether I should use again.

Any advice is appreciated!
 
I personally use ordinary sugar (Sucrose) but others recommend brewing sugar (Dextrose) basically the yeast like the Dextrose because it's more refined as in it's easier for them to break down but I've never had a problem

Nice one, cheers :)
 
I use priming sugar but there are many types of sugars to consider in the future and from what I've read, they're all good as long as you use a priming sugar calculator to get the correct weight for whatever sugar you decide on.
