Bulk Prime with High Malt Liquid Glucose?

Post by BenFrank » Tue Jun 12, 2012 12:02 pm

Is there a newbies section on here?

I'm sure you guys are sick of silly questions but here goes...

I've heard people reccomend using High Malt Liquid Glucose when doing Coopers / Morgans style extract kits instead of corn sugar.. better tasting or it works better or something...

My question:

If I'm bottle condiditoning a festabew and I want to bulk prime can I use High Malt Liquid Glucose (1.36KG tubs sold at Noble Grape) for this purpose too?

Any advantages?

If so, how does 1.25 cups of priming sugar relate to it's liquid counter part?

(in other words, how much do I use?)

Thanks in advance!

That should help you figure out how much you need. Not sure if HMLG is roughly equivalent to corn syrup? Personally, I'd use either corn sugar or table sugar for bulk priming. When I was bottling full time, I quite often used corn sugar. But I've since gotten lazy and use table sugar since I'm only bottling 4 to 6 bottles when kegging.

These questions are fine. I prime with plain sugar, corn sugar, honey, candi syrup, lyle's, whatever...lol.
