How many cups of corn sugar would equal a kg? I've been trying to google it with no luck. According to: http://joepastry.web.aplus.net/index.php?cat=17 1 cup of corn syrup = 11.5 ounces There are 28.35g per ounce roughly. 11.5 * 28.35 = 326.025 So corn syrup weighs about 326.025g cup Therefore 1KG = 3.1 cups of corn syrup... I think thats about right. I cut the decimal places to 2 points each stage! HTH, Jim

Is that a cup of sugar? Now tap the container on the counter and watch the level of sugar go down as the granules compact. Is that still one cup of sugar? And so on.

It was the draught kit http://www.hamiltonhopsandgrapes.com/Coopers%20Beer.htm its a concentrate from a can so you have to add a lot more sugar.

OK, I would suggest you use the dried malt extract instead of corn sugar with the canned extract. You will get a maltier beer that will be OK. Check out rec.crafts.brewing

Check out rec.crafts.brewing Well I usually go with a higher quality kit that comes in a box and all you have to add is water but I saw this in the store for 11 bucks and I couldn't resist lol. We'll see how it turns out. I had a quick taste pre-yeast and it tasted like it would be fairly flavourful.

You could make less as an option too. In my experience 3/4 cup corn sugar weighs about 5 ounces. I make beer too and we never use sugar in primary but we like heavier beer. It's my understanding using too much sugar can lead to cidery tastes. Joe
