Xylitol

[mAShMaN1]

Has anyone heard of Xylitol or if it is fermentable? I found it at a bulk food store and it can be replaced 1 to 1 with sugar. I read an article about it and it said there were health benefits and its the only sugar that bacteria cant grow on. Its kinda expensive so I wanted to know if anybody has used it

Xylitol is non-fermentable... Do a Google search using the term "is Xylitol fermentable" and you can learn more...

ok thanks that saved me a bunch of money because its pretty expensive

Just out of curiosity, why consider using it versus tried and true simple sugar that's much less $$?

I was just looking for something new to try and where it isn't affected by bacteria I thought it might make a better spirit. Not saying that simple sugar don't make good stuff its the best sugar wash I have tried

Now they are putting xylitol in fabric to add cooling effect.

Cool, so if you get lost in the woods you can eat your shorts if you get hungry.

...you can eat your shorts if you get hungry.

I've been telling people that for years...for different reasons.
