The primary sugar that ferments is a product of the malting process of grains. Many home brewers use malt syrup to brew their own. Home brewers may also use a small amount of milk sugar added before bottling to create the CO2 for carbonation.
Ordinary granulated sugar can be used. If you are using fruit to make beer or wine it generally contains enough natural sugar of its own and there is usually no need to add any additional sugar.

∙ 12y agoGlucose and Brewer's Yeast provides the most efficient conversion to ethanol and CO2. Next are Fructose, Maltose and Sucrose. Glucose sugar (C6H12O6) to alcohol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) provides the chemical balance of all the original material being converted into just ethanol and CO2 with nothing left over. If allowed to continue long enough with the correct nutrition, sucrose does provide a sufficient amount of ethanol and CO2. Because fermentation environment and nutrition are so important, calculating exact efficiencies for any recipe will yield the greatest satisfaction. At sugartech.co.za there are formulas suggested.

How much sugar is in a can of beer?
Most beer has no sugar at all. The sugars have been converted into alcohol. Taken from a popular advert but actually not true most beers contain quite a lot of sugar that's why if you spill beer it leaves behind the sugar when it dries leaving a very sticky mess. But it all depends on the beer and lagered beer contain even more sugar. If you take an average pint of beer is around 180 Calories and a level spoonful of sugar is 15 calories you will see and average pint is around 12 teaspoons of sugar. If you want to test your drink for sugar spill some and let it dry see what is left when the water and alcohol is gone. If you could turn all the sugar to alcohol beer would be around 30% proof and used to power the space shuttle.
