Hello everyone, not posted for ages, mainly cos ive been experimenting with some rather nice WN1 variants, peach, pineapple, kiwi, etc... It's going well!!
With all my wines, and ciders, ive been using standard granulated sugar, but is this the best?? My local home brew shop stocks 'brewing sugar', do you know if this is better than normal (i.e. cleaner, sweeter, etc..) ? Can icing, castor, demerara and other sugars be used and if so what are the benefits? Are there other options other than using sugar, ive heard honey is good, should i try to dissolve it in boiling water first?
As you can see, ive got plenty of questions, all sweet though !
Any opinions would be greatly received, im sure some of you must have experimented with various products.
Its greatly appreciated, i do love this site for all its tips and assistance.
