Bottle conditioning

[west1m]

I had to bottle a couple gallons of Wayner's Pale Ale last week due to not reading all of the recipies finer points. It was for 8 gallons not five so I ended using two fermenters. I used a sugar cube in a couple plastis Coke bottles and corn sugar in the old brown 12oz beer bottles.
The PET bottles are rock hard now.
My question, just curious, can corn syrup be used for conditioning or is this the wrong type of sugar?

Anything fermentable will work. I always used corn sugar

Dextrose is usually used I'm sure that's derived from corn ...

Aside note I wouldn't wanna bottle Wayners with its high hop load but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Corn sugar is 100% dextrose

Thought so as above

Been a long time since I've used it.

Is corn sugar and corn syrup the same?

Is corn sugar and corn syrup the same?

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/thread... is basically just,since it has water content.

Perfect, just what I was asking. I may have to try syrup next I am forced to bottle.
I would not have bottled Wayners if I had seen it was an 8 gallon recipe.

I have corn syrup around often as I like to make caramel candies.

same thing, just make sure it is 100% corn syrup and doesnt have any flavourings.

Yeppers, all sugars work but different sugars use different amounts...check out the priming tool in the site.
