Hi guys:

I have a recipe that calls for the use of corn sugar.  I do not have access to it at this time but I do have access to standard white sugar and specialty sugars like "Sugar in the Raw" Organic/rough grain stuff.

Which would be the best substitute for the recipe? Would the same advice go for bottling?

Thanks again!

I'd be a little surprised if you can't easily access corn sugar. It also goes by the name of dextrose and any home brew store will have it, as well as many supermarkets etc.

However you could also substitute normal white sugar. And it is fine for bottle priming too.
 
There are a lot of alternatives to using corn sugar.

I use this calculator and have had no problems and it is easy to use.

Hope this helps.
