Best sugars for priming

Post by Scotty » Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:13 pm

I am starting to use brewing sugar or DSM in my brews now and was wondering what sugars are best to use for secondary fermentation, if I have used one of the aforementioned sugars for intial fermenting?

I've been home brewing for over 10 years and have gone from kits to extract with specialty grains to all grain and 99% of the time have used corn sugar to prime. Once in awhile I use DME or honey.
I'm just here for the beer.

I use glucose, dissolves quickly and does the job.
