Yeah. Confusing.Nick JD said:I always thought cane sugar was just sugar - plain, white refined sucrose.
Here, we only have cane sugar - but the northern hemisphere also has beet sugar, so they differentiate. Beet sugar when refined to white sugar tastes to me exactly the same as cane sugar.
Their less-refined products taste different.
I'd go either raw or demarara for the style. Table sugar would add the alc without any flavour, but I think the extra bit of molasses would be yum.yum beer said:Use raw sugar, cane sugar is unproccessed. Preferably demarara sugar, woolies,coles and such will have it.
Any suggestion as to where to get Lyle's? I remember searching high and low here in Melbourne for it a few months back when making a k&k irish ale with a mate. Went to about 5 IGA's and just about every Coles/Woolies around here. Couldn't find anything but CSR. Which we eventually settled for...and couldn't taste it anyway, so that was fun.NewtownClown said:Sub the "cane sugar" for Lyle's Golden Syrup . The brewery actually uses invert sugar of which Lyle's is nearly 60%. I have also tried light and dark brown sugar and found both to be good subs but the light was closer to Speckled Hen
