Take the 2-minute tour ×  OK, so I was in the health food shop
(again) and couldn't find any corn sugar. However, on a whim I
bought some fructose. I am thinking of using it for priming the
English ale I have pencilled in to start tomorrow.  My questions
are: can I use fructose for priming? And, if so, can I treat it
as though it were corn sugar in my carbonation calculations (I
am looking at about 1.8 volumes carbonation which seems ballpark
for this style)?  share|improve this question @Poshpaws.....did
you end up using the fructose? If so, how did it turn out? –

vote accepted  Fructose is fully fermentable. Assuming the
fructose is completely dry, containing no moisture - as is the
case with granulated table sugar, which is also fully
fermentable - then you can use it in the same quantity as you
would table sugar (sucrose). In fact, save your money; use table
sugar for priming.  share|improve this answer add comment  You
