Sugars and Beer Enhancer

There's quite a few alternatives to sugar you can use in your homebrew. Microbrewery beer is often made with the addtion of some glucose or 'Brewing Sugar'

 

If a kit calls for brewing sugar or beer enhancer you can actually just use normal sugar from the supermarket. Different sugars give different tastes though. You may prefer these!

If you want a different flavour try experimenting with syrup, honey treacle etc. Buy it from the supermarket! If you do use treacle it's a strong flavour and will dominate especially in light beers so be warned!
