Type of sugar for secondary fermentation

[GhostShip]

Following a suggestion from someone on here, I thought I’d get some sugar sticks online to go into my bottles for secondary fermentation. A much cheaper option than carbonation drops.

Now this might be a daft question, but I can get white, brown or demerara sugar - no difference in price. Is there any benefit in using one above the others? Bear in mind I tend to go for lighter, golden beers, but I just wondered if one might add a bit more flavour or depth to the beer, or is the quantity so small it really won’t make the slightest difference?

My guess is it will be a very subtle difference. If I was you I'd buy one of each and do a taste test experiment.

In my experience honey, demerera and white sugar yield very similar results.

I agree with Fury it would be a subtle difference which most people would not detect
