I've used honey before when bottling.
Is cane sugar better?
TIA.
I'll be bottling 2 gallons in a couple of days.

Corn sugar. I've used turbinado before and could not tell a difference with corn sugar.

Corn/priming sugar. John Palmer, auther of How to Brew says no to using honey.
quote:
Honey is difficult to prime with because there is no standard for concentration. The gravity of honey is different jar to jar. To use honey, you will need to dilute it and measure its gravity with a hydrometer.

What they said. Corn sugar is just too easy.
Shouldn't take much for 2 gallons.

If you have corn sugar on hand use that but I would not make a special trip to pick some up. Cane sugar works just fine you'll never tell the difference.

Can this be a general homebrewing related thread now?
So, I batch sparged my first all grain batch last night.
Had some issues with getting the wort to flow at first. I think that was because some grain got under my false bottom.
I added the water first then stirred in the grain. Should I add the grain first to weigh down the false bottom then add the water?
Should I make a gasket of sorts around the edge of the false bottom with some tubing?
My gravity was a little low. I think this was because my sparge water was a little too cool. Was only 168ish when I pulled it off the burner then I had issues with flow for a few minutes while draining into the kettle so it sat around outside for a few minutes.

If a batch is infected can I:
Bottle it
Let it sit a couple years
???????
Profit
Era I've done this once and it turned out good. Not sure if this is thrrule though.

Another 2 gal batch started.
6 gallons total: American ale, Canadian Draft and a Weizenbier.

I've been drinking the American Ale I brewed. The flavor is very light with a hint of honey which I used in the carbonation process.
It's awesome because I brewed it, but that's about it..
