moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	just wondering if anyone else has done this? i ran out of regular sugar so i used some old brown sugar i had laying around. it doesn't seem to be doing as good of a job as "normal" sugar though.

Some of the volume of the sugar would be the molasses....not sure but you might want to use more brown sugar than you would white sugar to make up for the difference. Funny that the only reason I use sugar these days is for CO2 . EDIT: sits corrected ... it was cupa... ^_^ Current Contest Rules[/font] Last edited by Babelfish at 27-Jan-2005 11:02
