Inverted sugars/corn syrup
I hope this is the right forum to post this. I have an idea but I think I may be misunderstanding somethings. I'd like to start a generational sour mash using sweet feed. But instead of using table sugar I'd like to use inverted sugar. But after looking into corn syrup they seem to me (granted I'm an idiot) to be really similar. Am I mistaken? I'm thinking 4 fingers of sweet feed, 48 Oz of light Karo corn syrup water to make five gallons. It's basically the sweet feed recipe in tried in true minus the table sugar. How's this sound? It's between that or animal grade molasses. I'm after good flavor with little bite 6-10%.

If you can get the corn syrup cheap, go for it.

Re: Inverted sugars/corn syrup
Well that's the thing there's alot of sugar in it so it doesn't take much at all. Thats one big bottle and one little bottle at Walmart. It's probably cheaper then sugar. I'm hoping the yeast will have less trouble breaking it down and hopefully it will have less of a bite. I was really hoping someone smarter then myself would chime in with some more info about this. There isn't too much info about corn syrup on this site.

Re: Inverted sugars/corn syrup
Never mind its not at all cheaper and I am infact an idiot. Inverted it is. I'm still curious to know if corn syrup would be a better option quality wise.
