be a good/cheaper alternative to corn sugar in my beer brewing?
• Answer: Thank you for you question regarding inverted table sugar. Our readings do indicate inverted sugar can be used for beer brewing. However, the inverted sugar should be no more than 20% of your total fermentables, else your beer is likely to get the “cidery” taste. To answer the second part of your question, yes, it is less expensive in small quantities. In larger quantities, the made-yourself inverted sugar and the corn sugar are similar in price. Quality Wine and Ale Supply can order 1, 4, or 50 pound bags of corn sugar for you. To make invert sugar syrup: Ingredients: 8 pounds of cane/beet sugar 2 pints water 1 tablespoon citric acid Directions: 1.
