What is the difference between granulated sugar and brewing sugar?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
As far as I can make out brewing sugar is dextrose and ordinary granulated sugar is mainly sucrose.
Apparently sucrose is a disaccharide and the dextrose is a monosaccharide. The yeast first has to use enzyme action to break up the sucrose molecules before it can ferment them to produce the alcohol so fermentation is quicker with dextrose.
There are some reports of the fermentation being cleaner i.e. less residue during the fermentation but I cannot see how this works. Some people report a slight difference in taste.

Why granulated sugar will dissolve faster in a cup of coffee than sugar cubes?
Granulated sugar has more surface area exposed to the coffee, therefore it will dissolve faster.
What would react more quickly in a chemical reaction a single cube or an equal mass of granulated sugar crystals?
Granulated sugar. With a sugar cube, only the sugar on the six faces of the cube can react; the sugar WITHIN the cube is surrounded only by other sugar molecules. Ground-up, or "granulated" sugar has thousands of faces, so it can all react at once.

From a nutrition/health perspective they are so alike that there's no meaningful difference between them.
Is pure cane sugar same as granulated sugar?
Cane sugar comes from sugar cane. Granulated sugar most likely comes from sugar beets. Some people believe they perform differently but you will never know the difference.
If you use regular sugar in a recipe instead of granulated sugar is there a difference?
rwgular sugar is granulated sugar. the other kind is confectioner's sugar, or powdered sugar
Is there any difference between granulated and extra fine granular sugar?
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.
Why is caster sugar better to make muffins than granulated sugar?
Both work equally well for muffins. The only difference is that caster sugar is ground a little finer than granulated sugar. Granulated sugar might take a little longer to dissolve, but it will work equally well.
How much brown sugar equal granulated sugar?
According to the USDA nutrient database, granulated sugar has 99.8% sugar while brown sugar has 97% sugar. The difference is partly due to the moisture content of brown sugar; it contains more water.
Is powdered sugar equivalent to granulated sugar?
No... Powdered sugar is icing sugar. Granulated sugar is white sugar that is in granules. Chemically they are identical. The difference is in the physical structure. You can create your own powdered sugar by using a blender and granulated sugar. It won't be as fine, but it will be closer.

What is the difference between raw sugar and granulated sugar?
Granulated sugar is the regular table sugar people use on a daily basis, although technically the term "granulated sugar" could refer to sugar which is derived from beet roots. Raw sugar is a byproduct of the refining of sugarcane to obtain regular sugar. You can certainly substitute one for another in cooking, however, you should not substitute them for another in baking, since the size and texture of the products are different, and that can affect baking results.
