Sugar types
I dont know where best to ask this but has anyone noticed a diff between Tate and Lyle and Silver Spoon Sugar? Given that I can tell the diff in coffee I wondered if it makes any diff to beer

Tate and Lyle is derived from sugar cane and Silver Spoon is made in the UK and is made from Sugar Beet.
From the Silver Spoon website:
Silver Spoon use sugar beet primarily grown in East Anglia in the UK. Other sugars are made from cane which is grown in hotter climates. The processing method differs slightly but the resulting sugars are virtually the same.
I've never used sugar in beer to date but if you can tell the difference in your tea you'll probably tell the difference in your beer.

Thanks for that lads I know one is beet and the other cane but I was thinking more of the taste and what realy prompted the question is that having just used silver spoon the mix it was put in is still working like a mad thing so was wondering if I should have used less SS than I would T and L. Isnt beer making Fun

Yes, Peter, great fun. It's also highly unpredictable. There shouldn't be any difference, but there often is. Same with Malt. It varies year to year and supplier to supplier. Makes it interesting.
Planning: - To get some more brews on now the weather's a bit cooler
Fermenting: - Ginger Beer experiment
Conditioning: - A normal bitter with Styrians
Drinking: - All of it!!
