I just lost about a gallon of American Ale wort due to stupidity. I remember something I read about adding/replacing extract with corn sugar for various reasons but have never done it. In a couple days I am adding honey and was thinking about boiling a gallon of water, add the honey, then increase the gravity of the boil by using corn sugar.
The main reason I like this idea is because I have corn sugar but no extract and this recipe calls for honey and hops to be added during fermentation. I prefer increasing the volume back five gallons instead figuring out what I want to do with the honey and hops. There also is not a brew store within an hour of me and I really don't want to pay for shipping on just DME... so basically I’m just wondering others thoughts and experiences are with corn sugar as an extract replacement.
