Adjuncts and Sugars
Honey: Like other adjuncts, honey adds alcohol and lightens body. Despite what you'd think, honey will not sweeten a beer. It actually ferments very dry, leaving champagne-like overtones.
Corn Sugar: Dextrose is a monosacharride which means it is easier for yeast to break down than sucrose (table sugar), a dissacharride. This means there is less of the cidery twang but still is not recommended over 15-20%. For the small amount used in priming, there is no off flavor. Recommend priming dose @ 3/4 cup per 5 gallons.
Belgian Candi Sugars: Use for authentic Belgian beers. Made from beets. 1 lb. Package.
