[Ditch]

what do most people use .....

For Priming? From what I understand of it? What ever comes to hand. " Silver Spoon " is fine. Ye only looking at adding fizz. Not flavor. What ever's in the cupboard

+1 to Ditch's comment. I experimented with the Coopers Carbonation Dropsbut found the beer far too fizzy (for my taste) after using the recommended one per bottle.

Another one who uses general household sugar.

The amount you are adding for secondary is a tiny amount of the sugars/fermentables you use when btrewing so will make no difference to the fizziness of your brew.

i dunno, i've spent enough money on the kit and spent the time not doing anything waiting for it to ferment, so i'm not going to prime it with various stolen packets of sugar from a motorway service station or manky crap from one of my cupboards, i use brewers sugar myself.

ive used brewing sugar,household,brown and DME and found no difference really.Household seemed to give more fizz but that might have been down to my (lack of) measuring skill.Usually batch prime now.

[hommebru]

household granulated gives off the highest amount of fizz per gram used in terms of fermentables so just use that and batch prime.

I tend to use household as I use a funnel when dropping in and find DME and brewing sugar clumps together a little. I've never had a problem with this like undeadjed and hommebru said granulated gives the highest amount of fizz.
Have never batch primed but can see the value.

+1 for household, at the amount required for priming you won't be able to tell
