primed with Cane Sugar today, should we be concerned?

[oliver]

primed with Cane sugar today because we were out of priming sugar, and we typically use 2oz per our 2 gallon batches, and i read that Cane sugar carbonates a little more than normal priming sugar, so we used 50g (instead of 56g) ... are we good to go on that?

that should give you somewhere around 2.5 vols of carbonation. So you're good. That should be the right amount for an American style of beer. http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ This link has a calculator for figuring out how much sugar you need for priming.

we used that one. curious as to the differences between table sugar and cane sugar, but it sounds like we should be ok.. nothing like waiting 2 weeks to figure it out

My table sugar is cane sugar.

No difference, they're both sucrose. I suppose you could use a different sugar on the table but that one is the most common.

By the way, beet sugar, candi sugar, demerara, turbinado, palm sugar, even molasses are all ultimately sucrose.
