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!

What would you use a Kg of corn sugar for in making beer? Corn sugar in
home brewing is mostly used for carbonation after bottling. For a 5 gal.
batch of beer, 4 oz is typically used.

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.

You've had no luck because there is no answer. Let's say you scoop sugar
into a one-cup container. 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.

I thought you were referring to corn syrup when you asked, is corn
sugar dried and granulated?

Sorry if my reply was eroneous...
